We are tracked more than we know. Facebook endeavors to know everything
about us. We are tracked by our cellular phones. Our credit card
purchases are tracked. Google tracks us maybe down to the MAC
address.... I understand our home insurance provide is using drones to
look into our back yard.... And our ISP keeps a log of everything we do.
I changed auto insurance companies and they wanted me to plug a doodad
into my car. I said no.
At one point in my life I pondered creating a program that would make
nonsense searched to confuse Google... Yikes!!
Oh yeah, and there is the IoT.... I understand my electric company is
tracking my usage in real time.
Anyone want to add to the list?
