Reading comments, I expectantly see a lot of cheering for this step, with many calling for further measures. I understand that privacy features are important to some people, but I am not one of them.

Can someone provide what needs these feature covers? Like, what are some reason to disable all internet connectivity?

I am genuinely curious.

So you're okay with every single company being able to track you, build a profile to you, and sell that profile to the highest bidder, while you get nothing remotely comparable in value?
I feel like I am getting access to lots of products in part shaped by my data. It is not like I have better things to do with it.
No worries that processed data might profile you in a bad way in the forseeable future?
Not really. I have enough to worry about in the present rather than worry about imaginary future scenarios. I also think that since this is something most people are agreeing to, if it would turn really sour there would be enough of public outrage to make the worst of consequences illegal.
