In the context of VPNs for example. Some VPNs store and provide information about what sites you go to third parties. Third parties analyze it and figure out what adds to show you. Hmm… then let them show me those adds they want to show me. I do hate adds as a whole and use an add blocker, thus. But I couldn’t care less what particular type of adds they show me, they are still adds.
Someone knows what sites I go, what then. If someone curiously inquired me on this type of information I’d tell them without giving a second thought. Incomparably larger amount of data I put out just by making comments and posts.
What if you were a woman who had a miscarriage and the trackers got ahold of that information from your search and browsing habits on planned parenthood (which has a LOT of third party trackers and cookies)? Would you like to see ads of what could have been your baby for eternity?
This information could be sold to insurance providers and your premiums could go up since you’re more of a “health risk”.
There are endless avenues where your data could end up and affect your life in the real world.
Now imagine that data is bought by local law enforcement from the lowest bidder data broker.
And that local law enforcement is based in an abortion-illegal state and now you're under arrest for suspicions on aborting your baby
Yes that is the implication
now they can law enforce better 😂

Ahh "this doesn't affect me", the pinnacle of enlightened politics
Why not move to Afghanistan and listen to modern music for a little adventure?
Can you guarantee that everything legal you do now will remain legal next year? In 10 years? In 30? Data storage is cheap…
In the UK you have more to worry about. Encryption is threatened under your government, and that poses a much larger potential for data collection and misuse.
