> This needs a bit more technical detail. If you mean they'll combine IP + other fingerprinting, we can work on mitigation techniques there too. Yeah, but instead of playing cat and mouse, just make it illegal and fine anyone caught violating it. Honestly, banning tracking would end the race to the bottom and be good for publishers and consumers. It probably won't affect FB & Google because they are too big to be displaced. It may kill a bunch of middlemen, but they are leaches and should die anyway. |

I agree that this should happen. Unfortunately, this requires a revolutionary political movement which has so far failed to materialise. When there isn't adequate appetite from the rest of society for the protections you want, your solution has to be a technical one.
Maybe another way to kill the middlemen is to develop technology which undermines their business model, e.g. DTube; YaCy.
