<![CDATA[The ads, the tracking, the eavesdropping]]>I would love to know from the rest here - isn't a solution to the ad creep just... not buying things? Like going for second hand / refurbished, avoiding big brands for food and drink, and just not shopping online (ffs)? Or am I being naive? Enlighten me!

Of course working under the assumption that the government cannot (yet) admit to tracking us for more sinister purposes. That's a problem for another day.
