It seems like you've yielded already.
Yet, just because it's definitely not easy (or even completely possible) to hide, doesn't mean we have to surrender and obediently bask in the joy of using every tool they throw at us.

You got it backward: they do give a shit about everything, because there's a buyer for every single kind of users' data (and it doesn't matter if it's "anonymized", it's still sucked-up data).
They're way past just dealing with the mere ads of yore.

That's a fair point, but the behavior of those people isn't supposed to make the rest of us (the few that don't chase fame and put their life on internet, and maybe even all those that have no clue at all) forgo their will to have their privacy respected (well... as much as possible, that is), is it ?
