Who's Tracking Me?


My paranoia tends to drive me in different directions than my global adversaries want or expect me to go.
I know that this sounds a little tautological, however, with all of monetization of everything we view online, I think its reasonable to try to avoid what is expected.

Anyone who is familiar with the use of complex algorithms which are designed to strategically place ads on web pages, will understand that the Amazons and Googles might try to capitalize on a person who just did an index search for synonyms to "tautology".
Although I will admit that I'm not sure what a tautological explorer might crave to spend his/her money on, the very fact that "they" have algorithms for such things makes me shudder.

All of this cookie tracking of the corporations is "child's play" compared to the nation states who have the ability to sniff our packets without a person really knowing that it's happening. It sounds obscene, but, all data packets are subject to getting sniffed.
I understand that it makes us safe, that Uncle Barak or Papa Putin is keeping an eye on who's posting movie reviews on IMDB, but, I don't like it. I will turn left when "they" expect me to go right. I may be the only one turning left, which by its very nature could make me more distinct. Nevertheless, I will try to be random, the embodiment of the chaos principle for the zuckerberg algorithms
