I would love to read my own folder. I wonder if I have a unique folder for each of my online personas, or if they’ve managed to consolidate all into one.
We may feel safer with multiple aliases, email addresses, using different browsers, etc. but it’s not hard for them to combine data and know exactly what profile belongs to whom.
Not that we shouldn’t try, but it’s far more difficult for the average user to evade data collection than someone who is online for a very specific purpose (and is covering their tracks with every interaction).
