Ok you don’t have to give personal info to sign up. But how does one stop them from gathering information from those signed up to spy on them and then sell the data to anyone and everyone? I know other sites do it too, I look at MSN often for news and it’s obvious now that they spied on me and target ads and stories to what I like or have looked up recently. It creeps me out, someone mentions they have a medical condition, I look it up online to learn about the disease, then for weeks afterward I get pop ups and header ads for drugs, doctors and sometimes malpractice attorneys related to that condition!
That comes from gathering data from an ISP address not from signing up, I’m not signed up for msn just look at the site.
So what is the answer, get a search engine like duck duck go? A personal vsp or vsn whatever it’s called, service?
I’m tired of being spied on and Facebook is the worst as far as violating privacy from what I can tell. So I don’t sign up.
