And what's the big deal if they know? This is what I was thinking of when I brought up the bourgeois fetish of privacy the other week - not, as some seemed to think, that I was being callous about the risk of being fired for sexual or political practices, but some fear that one's bodily integrity is being violated because some ad person knows which website you've visited. I just don't care - why should I?
