EvilCorps are hoovering up a hell of lot more data than I voluntarily give them. I give no data voluntarily to FB, yet with all of their track bullshit they take it from me. I have no idea if a website is using their code or not, so by me browsing said website is not me giving them my permission. Same with Googs and their analytics.



Both given and generated data are allowed for the government to access. I use no-script, but simpler extensions are available.


I use options to stop stuff as well, but that's the exception to the rule for EvilCorps hoovering up unsuspecting data. Even with my attempts at blocking other people are submitting information about me as well (perhaps unknowingly on their part such is the greed of EvilCorp). Again, I did not provide that information voluntarily so it should also not fall under the 3rd party ruling
