That's ironic that you responded with the points, exact spirit of which the parent rebukes.

The issues you are raising are indeed real issues, that will be eventually addressed. And that "eventually" largely depends on the pressure that privacy-minded consumers create.

And just because they are not addressed yet, it doesn't mean we shouldn't care about fixing other weak links.

It’s not ironic at all, I’ve read about this discourse about data privacy for at least 10 years, nothing has changed for the better since then, quite the contrary. I for one take active steps in combating it (I very rarely use my CC for purchases, I buy almost nothing online etc), it’s tiring to be lectured on privacy by people who act one way and say a totally different thing.
