Whenever privacy stuff comes up on HN, the comments go really weird: "Privacy is good, companies should stop spying on users. Targeted ads are intrusive and collect too much data." - said by people whose next JIRA ticket at work is to add another ad tracker to their own product!

It's just contradiction after contradiction.
