Ask HN: Why is internet privacy so important?
I see that WebKit has a new tracking prevention policy, which made me think why it's so important for everyone to be protected from big ad companies who rely on 3rd party cookies for example.
Why the huge hassle? I could get better targeted products for example, which is a good thing, but I have a feeling that this whole area is causing problems in a bigger picture, but can't identify what those are.
