I often think these efforts will just continue to empower the larger players and frustrate the user. No one is going to go to all these companies/websites/apps and ask them to delete their data and then do it again tomorrow, next week, next month, next year...when they collect more data. We need a mechanism that just creates so much data both legitimate and artificial that these systems prove worthless.

Edit: Curious the effectiveness of browser extensions like Ad-Nauseum. I've used it on & off and became amused with how much I 'cost' the ad-companies but for all I know it just proves another data point that my machine clicks every add that comes across it.
