At some point, there needs to be a backlash about our right to be shown advertisements. I mean, if it creates a nice discount and shows us relevant services - please DO track me.

Honestly, if I go to a website and later see a related ad to that website -- that's a good thing, right?

Maybe instead of removing tracking, we need something like an industry code where the browser has a great green bar around it saying you're being tracked and here are the benefits.

It reminds me of another situation. I play free game sometimes and I always shake my head in disbelief at the wasted opportunity when they show the interstitial ads that are uninteresting me. With a bit of intelligence, they should be showing extremely high value ads around software security (a personal example) that could lead to serious business. But no, Apple doesn't allow for that.

Do you believe information asymmetry benefits the less informed party in a transaction?

I’d love this; but only if merely gathering tracking information was opt-in, by law. (I’d never opt in, and am genuinely curious to know what percentage of the population would.)
