    No disagreement here. It’s just unfortunate that the users happily agree to everything you’ve pointed out. Because their browser is apparently just so nice, and a typical user has no ability to recognize value in their data so it feels free to them.

      The problem is that the users truly don’t understand how terrifying the data is.

      End, it seems impossible to educate them on it .

      Nobody wants to believe that they can be manipulated as easily as they actually can be, especially with a bunch of inside information that you don’t think is relevant.

      Everyone wants to believe that they are freethinkers and make decisions themselves without “Google bias” and subtle manipulation.

      I honestly have no idea how to fight that and it terrifies me
