That's probably because you don't grasp what can be done with this data, and for how long this data will be around. The bottom line is in the relation between privacy and freedom.

There's a few point to raise here: how do you object or prevent the sale of your data ? how much of the money from the sale of your data went to your pockets ? what control do you have on your sold data over time ?

Then it's not only about you and your life, ever heard of first they came [1]?

I'll ignore your belittling comment and ask you to clarify what exactly you suppose will be done with the data about my browsing habits. I'll return the sentiment, however, and suggest that maybe you don't grasp that there are people who do understand and are not quite as scared as you. I generally don't live my life in fear, regardless of what dangers loom around the corner, known or unknown. This is the second time you've correlated internet browsing tracking to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. It amazes me that you even use the internet with such enormously exaggerated fears.

I'll go further to suggest that you are unaware that knowledge, intellect, understanding, and the capability to grasp these concepts is in no way correlated with susceptibility to fear and worry.
