I don't disagree. This was why I added "(right or wrong)" to the
message. The internet culture as a whole is one of constant
surveillance. It's a common business model for online content
distributors/marketers etc. There are numerous postings about this all
over the internet.

My point, and I said this off-list as well to those who responded to me
directly, is simply this:
I would rather keep the list technical and apolitical. I know we can't
keep politics out of tech, but I would prefer to at least attempt to
limit it on the mailing lists.
A discussion about alternatives and their technical merits would be fine
and I have no problem with that. Derailing a 'how do I fix this' thread
with a political discussion is something I'd like to avoid as a general
rule.
