In the context of VPNs for example. Some VPNs store and provide information about what sites you go to third parties. Third parties analyze it and figure out what adds to show you. Hmm… then let them show me those adds they want to show me. I do hate adds as a whole and use an add blocker, thus. But I couldn’t care less what particular type of adds they show me, they are still adds.

Someone knows what sites I go, what then. If someone curiously inquired me on this type of information I’d tell them without giving a second thought. Incomparably larger amount of data I put out just by making comments and posts.

      Literally. The moment someone wants to have a look at my anus, I’d already have shown them. What’s the deal with everyone? We need to be more transparent with these kind of topics. Nobody wants to share anymore. We are all walled off behind our smartphones and doors and houses.

      Honestly, this is a bad analogy. I close the door because other people don’t want to see me, not because I don’t want other people to see me.
