When I clicked on the "Spy Kids" link, that page made requests to DoubleClick and a Youtube tracker. So, now I'm tracked by the CIA and by ad networks that know I visited the CIA site. Yay capitalism.

You think you wouldn't be tracked worse under socialism/communism?

Honestly, it's not at all clear. The US has exceeded the Stasi on many fronts in the level of tracking at this point, but who knows what they would have done in 2020 if they still existed.
