What disturbs me most about all the tracking and profile building that's occurring is the loss of the sense of freedom and autonomy we once had when we knew no one was watching us. Just the idea that someone could know more about us than we're willing to share or even know ourselves creates self-imposed limits on our thoughts and actions when it's essential that we maintain these freedoms.
