I didn't bother reading the article. I'm simply posting an emotional response based solely on the probably inaccurate summary. I don't really care about privacy policies because I'm use to getting tracked all the time. Security cameras watch me drive to work, my badge records when I enter the door, cameras watch me inside the building, my credit card leaves a trail everywhere I buy something... and I don't really care. So go ahead and track what you want and sell the data to whoever. The hundreds of spam messages I get a day proves that there is no hope of ever retrieving any of my privacy. If you start asking for money to visit this site I'll probably pay for it because I tend to develop habits that make me comfortable. I don't like those habits being interrupted.
I'm now going to hit submit without doing a preview because I could really care less about the quality of this post.

...which now includes your data.

Radio is free. TV is free.
You pay for those with your attention. You pay for internet content with your attention and your identity and a record of your online behavior and the identities of your friends and maybe some information on your hard drive and you give the internet a shot at pwning your computer or taking all the stuff you own in your name.
Radio is free. TV is free. The Internet is savage.
