Re: Why should we care?
said by DSLdewd  :If it's not attached to anyone personally...than who cares. If it's just "anon user 1554623 did this, this, and this" than who cares. Really..why should anyone care? I could be wrong here but that's how I read it. The thing is they have to make it anonymous by removing an way to link back to a user. And it's just annoying to be tracked without permission.
What if every time you left home, your every move was watched, and they tracked every stop you made, what you looked at, etc. But they said "We'll erase your name from the report, so it's anonymous. But we won't stop doing it, even if you ask."
Still ok with it? |

Having your movements monitored online is nothing like having them monitored offline. For one, companies like Phorm aren't interested in using your information against you, and their kind of monitoring certainly won't put your life at risk.
And for another, you maintain an element of control over the information that you give out and over the information that is tracked/collected/monitored.
I think the main point of your argument is that you find being tracked annoying. So opt out, and have done with. |
