Privacy, Secrecy, the Web, and Ads

These companies already share our data with Pfizer to target us for their blue pill ads. What hint have we given them that it’s not OK to share our data with the U.S. Government?

What stance have we taken as a society that the Government should have picked up on where we say: place value here. Our actions to date have said one thing: make it free, take what you want from us, so long as it’s not cash.

And if this is the standard by which so many web companies have been operating, who’s to blame when those companies make the rather logical and rational decision to allow the Government access in the name of Freedom?

Great read.
