    What a great analogy. You just be really proud of your vast knowledge which includes: there exist tech companies who could easily sell your data but suddenly decided not to.

      Note: They ALREADY HAVE YOUR DATA in this scenario. You’re like the fucking stupid soldier who wants to go back out there while they’re currently bleeding out… You’ve already lost by the point we’re talking about. They have your email. They have your interests. You’ve already visited their site and gotten their cookies to sign up…

      If you even remotely want to see the email, they’re already tracking you far, FAR more than they’d be able to with email. Click on a link in there? Congratulations: It DOESN’T MATTER what’s in the email at that point. You’re back in their entire environment and you’ve signaled email helped get you there. Regardless of what was in the email.

      You’re complaining about someone stealing food from your fridge and conveniently ignoring that they have to have access to your house to even try it in the first place…
