Here's another one from the Powerful White Guys Who
Don't Get Privacy department...

  Forget privacy: We should be glad that advertisers can see all our data

You know how you can tell when you have won
an argument?  When the other side starts using
natural-bovine-fertilizer-based communications
technology.

 The data that marketers use has nothing to do with NSA
 “spying.”

  piggybacking on the tools that enable Internet
  advertisers to track consumers, using "cookies"
  and location data to pinpoint targets for government
  hacking and to bolster surveillance.
