Does it frighten you or concern you that your habits are tracked?

Purchase habits.
Viewing habits.
interests.

Owning a new Google Nexus phone has me kinda feeling like in order to use this damn phone i cannot use it without allowing Google to pry into my life.I think its ridiculous.
I went from a Samsung Galaxy phone and it did not seem anywhere near as invasive as this gadget is.

I wrap my phone in tin foil so they can't track me

If you were to say there was such a thing called privacy nowadays I'd laugh at you.

Just don't be a fricking dumbass and you'll be fine.

No, I'm an adult so I am used to being accountable for the things I say and do.

Nah I don't mind.

And I really enjoy those threads people start here asking Chicken why he has ads for dildos and such not realizing that those ads are populated using their search results.

There are few things that can bother you when you've accepted that you're just a piece of shite.

Happened to a dude who started a thread that pretty much said, "lolwtf chicken?! Gay sites?! Srsly?! Lol"

Welp, he was soon embarrassed and the thread was deleted.

My iphone has started giving me notifications on traffic conditions and expected arrival times to my assumed destination based on the time and day of the week.

Sunday PM it knows I'm leaving site A headed to site B. Friday afternoon, it alerts me of traffic between site B back to site A. Creepy as hell.

Have you ever checked the Maps feature that shows everywhere your google phone has been in the last few years?

Pretty crazy, it can pinpoint where you where and what time exactly. I was tracking my vacations with it.

That doesn't equate to be OK with being surveilled 24/7.

There was a time when people once referred to the US as a free country.

Not at all.

To be honest, my latest investment and the most money by far I have ever invested is in a biotech company. Being able to predict a person by their habits is enormously huge money.

The market is blowing up and extremely profitable.

So no. Why would I care.
