    I suspect they also know that you seem to have a problem spelling the word you, is this some anti-data gathering tactic I am unaware of?

    I think if one's paranoid, have something to hide or up to something illegal or embarrassing they would be worried about being watched.

    I myself couldn't give a toss, I just go about my business and get on with it..

    Not exactly a conspiracy, when so many businesses claim to be able to do exactly that...

    Peter Geoghegan's book "Democracy for Sale" has bits such as
    [American political consultant Darian] Rafie bragged about the ways [to OpenDemocracy's undercover reporter] in which voters' mobile phone data could be extracted for targetted advertising...
    "There is a lot of stuff to be done with mobile phones and geo-fencing areas"...
    "Say there's a rally somewhere... we'll draw a polygon around that event and then we'll register all the phones that were there... Then we follow those phones home, and then we know who they are and what they do, and now I know what your Netflix unique ID is, and I've got your Facebook unique ID, so then I can communicate with you through a whole variety of ways.
    pg268 "Making Europe Great Again"
