I have a different opinion on behavioural tracking: in most cases and contexts human behaviour is very low entropy; each person is unique and so on but we are also quite predictable and malleable and in many situation we collapse into far fewer modalities of behaviour.

By gathering enough data it become possible to predict more and more of our individual behaviour; I believe that keeping this as hard as possible is a noble cause.
