>Why not? Systems can become more efficient if they know you better. Because I didn't give them permission. I've no issue with anyone who willingly trades their privacy/digital footprint in return for services. I don't want to. I will happily pay money for services I want. But, in all practical ways, the choice has been taken from me. It's impossible to have an online life without Google, Facebook, and myriad others hoovering up my every digital footstep. And before someone says "ad-blockers" - I use them. And I decline cookie consent on every site I visit. It's tiresome, but I do it. Though even that marks me out: a signal in the noise. Even the act of trying to reject the surveillance economy helps that industry segment me. It's obscene, and something needs done about it. |

I don't think this is really worthwhile. It's akin to reporting every Google/fb ad as "I don't want to see this/this isn't relevant to me". Easier to just block ads/cookie consents from ever appearing, and set cookies to automatically delete after tab closure.
