    The analogy of leaving breadcrumbs is so misleading here, you do not leave shit, you are actively followed. Words matter and define the situation, leaving breadcrumbs makes it sound like it is the people’s own problem, while it is exactly the other way around.

    I do not have anything to hide, i simply have nothing i want you to see.

    I’m surprised that ublock origin, an extension for browsers, wasn’t even shown. If organizations can’t get their ads to you, then your data would also be less profitable to them

    He didn’t talk about open source software or FOSS as well. Since the code is readable by anyone, it tends to be private. Otherwise, it would be forked by people who intend to make it private
