Your argument is literally exactly the same argument Facebook uses to justify all its spying. It's not a solid ideological base to build upon. I don't want ANYONE spying on ANYTHING that I'm doing, even if they think it's for my own good and it's not crossing a line.

> How does including interest-based tracking for a product make a commitment to privacy from unrelated companies' tracking "smoke and mirrors"? There's a difference between the privacy I expect from a direct service provider and from various random agents seeking to build a profile on me.

There's a difference between Facebook collecting data when I'm on their site and collecting data from embedded trackers. Draw the line wherever you want, just don't conflate different things just because they're both disagreeable to you.
