I am not very surprised though I didn't know much about how prevalent it was. Maybe the most surprising is Netflix doing detailed tracking even of your devices in use when you aren't using Netflix for streaming and don't even have a Netflix account.

Come on, use Brave or Firefox or Safari browsers. ASR is one of the cleaner sites you'll visit btw. Or if you must use something else at least use Ublock Origin as a minimum add on.

Oh, the irony...



I would like to see a "profile" they've built for me with my wanderings around the web.

Yep, Google is stalking Ray. What they don't know yet is that he is stalking them as well.

 

[Wombat]

If they work it out would they please reveal all. Even Ray might be pleased to know.

I don't think anyone can understand why he chose that avatar. LOL

ATT doesn't think you have the right to sue over them selling your location data.

Not so bad. Half the world is now paying for the privilege of installing a big business-government-law enforcement spying device in their home.
Hey Alexa/Google, tell everyone who asks (pays) about everything that gets said in my home.
