Read you loud and clear. I enjoyed the crazy adventure that was the early internet. Really truly enjoyed it for over a decade, almost two. It's now gone, FUBAR and loaded with trackers. I usually can't even access an online newspaper anymore without logging in and being tracked. That's where I draw the line. It is nobody's business what I am reading. Got a stack of books to read now, instead. Not to say that legit sites without trackers don't exist anymore, but finding one of those randomly, for example as a result of search, is getting harder every day. Of course, the risk is real is that as the quality of journalism has diminished, thanks to trackers and putting the most popular dating advice and recipes on online newspapers' front pages in lieu of the reports of what's really happening in the world, we'll all soon be living in bubbles of filtered, sanatized information. So, it's not just privacy threats anymore. |
