I’m not ignorant just because I don’t want to be tracked, and slinging insults like this just reaffirms my beliefs :)

You are ignorant though. The whole point of EN is that you CAN'T be tracked.

Yeah, that’s the claim, but it conveniently ignores all the metadata that ties a particular device to certain places/times/events based on the other rotating IDs they’ve seen. It’s like Nintendo 3DS StreetPass but bad.

How do you ensure you're not tracked? That your location history is not sold to every bidder?

It's not an insult directed at a single person. I'm echoing Isaac Asimov's critique of American culture: https://aphelis.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ASIMOV_1980_C...
