Just a reminder that if consumers hate it enough, they can have the power to change those decisions. If they or content or "don't care" they are passively agreeing and allowing it continue. Let your voices be heard, share articles like the Mozilla investigating car companies that collect your sex life and biometrics. Let your representatives know.
