They don't watch your internet surfing for entertainment. They do it for the money. The data mining industry is huge and leeches off of society. Some of these companies know more about us than the government does. I do not want to support thier business so I try to take steps to prevent my data from leaking into their hands. Some of it is inevitable as some businesses I have to do business with will sell my information but I do what I can.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

I didn't just make that up, its' THE FOURTH AMENDMENT to the Bill of Rights. All superseded by a whim plus the 14th.

Still the Amendment does not say it is limited to government and could apply to persons or their entities that disturb the security of ones (cyber) papers.

My Fourth Amendment should trump Google Analytics or Yahoo beacons. Sure we can forbid or turn them off.

How many are less obvious?

Collecting "data" on people is wrong in the American system.

And it makes you believe there was a choice.

In a word, NO. It is an unpatriotic, unconsitutional affront to the dignity and rights of Americans.
