        Should be illegal in any case. It violates your privacy and freedom to be tracked and only because big businesses have normalized this bullshit do you think it’s okay except for marginalized cases.

          You don’t have to convince me. Convince your politicians that are paid by big business.

      Not in this case, since the state law supersedes any terms of service.
