Everyone is tracking you.

It seems I don’t even have time to write an article about someone tracking you before news of someone else tracking you illegally pops up on me.  I’m starting to believe these aren’t simply isolated events so much as they’re isolated findings of wrong-doing made public in a sea of corporate tracking transgressions.
