One of the results of a ClarityRay survey was that
ad blocker users tend to spend more money online.
It would be good to expand on that.  Do privacy
tools other than ad blockers also have an effect?
Does the effect hold even when you control for skill
and time spent online?

It would be good to follow up on last year's Pew
study...
  http://www.pewinternet.org/2013/09/05/anonymity-privacy-and-security-online/
To what extent are user concerns about
security/privacy affecting commerce, and what
security/privacy tools, behaviors, and policies are
most effective for helping to address those concerns
and promote commerce?
