Issue I have is how much they profit off selling all that information. They are pretty much bundling millions of peoples interest and selling them to anyone whose willing to pay. The speed at which this data exchanges hands is getting quicker and quicker. I mean maybe a week or two ago my dad was searching vacation cruise ships, a little more than a week later he was getting mail about cruise ships.

I mean I actively participate in the system, but it doesn't mean I'm not a little freaked out by it.
