> Your entire search history is fingerprinted, associated, shared, and sold.

I've often been curious about this. I've heard this sentiment many times, but I've never heard of where/how anyone could actually buy a search history. Surely there must be some accounts of how the other side of the equation works.

Also, how much does it cost? All the facebook/google help pages I've seen focus on ads, where no personal information is shared.

I was not specific enough with that. I should have said something like, when everything that is collected by different companies and agencies is combined, your entire search history is fingerprinted, associated, shared, and sold. Most are not combining. But some are, and they seem to be getting better at it.
