Since this is tied to an account, it means data that never dies. While currently unlikely, imagine being vetted for a job by the websites you visit. Do you want an employer to be able to purchase your online history? There&#x27;s more to hide the the usual things like pornography or political sites. Imagine you&#x27;ve visited several competitor employers, including past job listings. One could easily deduce you likely applied and failed if the job listings no longer exist and you&#x27;re applying for this new job. Perhaps this makes for a lower offer on the new employers behalf.<p>I could invent many hypotheticals in this vain but privacy is something worth protecting.
