Uh oh, you just claimed to be uninteresting… I think that trigger language gets you flagged for further follow-up?! You are now on their radar buddy!!!

(/s btw)

Says me, who is totally a spy. Yup, absolutely they should read all of my data.

(but a spy would never say that so…)

Reminds me of the Bill Hicks bit about marketing and advertising. “Oh he’s going for that anti-marketing dollar, that’s a great market!”

Yeah I suppose in this game you only get to choose your side, but the option to not play at all is not left open to you.

Or, you can choose not to play but that basically means rejecting society. That price is too high for 99%+ of people. Some of us try to partially abstain with privacy tools.

You would have to not have an address, phone, or use the internet, nor travel along a roadway that has billboards (even the Amish are not immune!), so yeah, wherever you are they will track you down, basically.:-( Which is on them, while what we choose to do about it is on us:-).

Yeah you’d have to be an off-grid mountain man, basically. That’s why so few do it, but some do!

Hrm… come to think of it, there are some people who would want to have a list of off-grid mountain men (hunters of potential immortal vampires? or perhaps to ensure that such people have their… ahem “votes” properly counted?), so even then there surely is a list, or rather a few thousand lists, of such people? Perhaps all people who have not bought anything for the last 5 years but for where an obituary has not yet recorded their deaths?

(Unfortunately) where there is a will, there is a way!
