That allows to define business markets, user trends and obtain an absolute knowledge, about things that a few decades ago were probably considered personal information.

It is replaced with an illusion of control as we delegate trust to the service providers. The majority of the users do not understand the impact and they are unaware of the technical aspects of tracking, which runs silently at the background of each offered service.

A number of different services around privacy, anonymity and data control already exists and becoming more and more popular. These services try to provide an alternative exit for gain back some control over decision making, that has been lost unconsciously.
