Would you give up your privacy in the surveillance web architecture that is constantly being implemented i.e such as social networking companies such as Facebook (a company having links from In-q-tel - a CIA venture capital Fund) that also wants to record your browsing history as well, for a cheap tablet computer? (which probably costs more to manufacture than they are selling it for)
Ummm...
How many times do I have to say it?
The opposite of private is "Digital"
If you don't want companies tracking you, live in a tent, pay cash and ride a bike. Dare I go on about why I use my real name here on this and other forums? Dare I suggest that most of us (perhaps all of us) are far too boring to attract specific attention and far to valuable as consumers to not have automated profiles created by advertising servers.
All of your phone calls are tracked.
All of your credit card transactions are tracked.
Every TV show you watch is tracked.
The radio station you liesten to in the car is tracked by devices you don't even know are there.
Your shopping habits are tracked. Your shopping BEHAVIOR (how you walk, where you walk, where you stop) is tracked.
Your birth records, your school records, your job records, your credit profile, your driving profile, your health records, your prescriptions, your relationships with others - all tracked when you "opt in" by using, accessing, participating in this modern life.
If you want out, if you want "privacy" you need to leave industrialized society.
