In the context of VPNs for example. Some VPNs store and provide information about what sites you go to third parties. Third parties analyze it and figure out what adds to show you. Hmm… then let them show me those adds they want to show me. I do hate adds as a whole and use an add blocker, thus. But I couldn’t care less what particular type of adds they show me, they are still adds.
Someone knows what sites I go, what then. If someone curiously inquired me on this type of information I’d tell them without giving a second thought. Incomparably larger amount of data I put out just by making comments and posts.
There’s definitely some information that I’ve shared that is probably not in my best interest, so I understand being the type of person who tells people almost anything. I’m pretty much an open book with close friends and family. It’s one reason I like to avoid sites like Facebook and use sites that emphasize anonymity more. Sometimes I have to keep myself safe from myself lol
