I have a great credit/fraud prevention in place and my private information has passed through so many hands thanks to Uncle Sam, i mean... what can my internet company do with it that isn't already available to be done?
And as stated previously- Google and FB both track everything you do anyway. If you want to be off-grid, you need to commit. We're always being tracked now.
