Two types of privacy
One thing I never really understood is the incongruity between online tracking and real-world tracking, the latter of which we would call stalking.<p>If you followed around the owner or employee of a tracking...err &quot;advertising analytics&quot;...company, and recorded everywhere they went, and everyone they met and interacted with, including writing down all of the purchases they made when they go to a store, and then you sold the notebook you kept of all this, would you be in any legal trouble? What if you followed around their spouses and children too? Would the employees of the advertising company be creeped out by this? And yet they do it virtually to millions of others.
