Teens, Social Media, and Privacy
antdude writes "Pew Internet reports that: 'Teens are sharing more info about themselves on social media sites than they have in the past, but they are also taking a variety of technical and non-technical steps to manage the privacy of that information. Despite taking these privacy-protective actions, teen social media users do not express a high level of concern about third-parties (such as businesses or advertisers) accessing their data.'"
Why is it a bad decision? The more advertisers know about me, the more likely I am to see ads for things I am actually interested in.

Are you sure your wife hasn't been using your computer?
i am also against tracking. and according to my logic, things that im against, should be destroyed along with the human nodes, that reproduce them.
Also, the harm isnt really necessary, the possibility of harm is enough. One cannot misuse/sell to government thugs the data that one doesn't have... =)
tldr - kill all the advertisers. Preferrably ala Robespierre. that'll teach 'em.
