This may well be a serious issue, but it's hard to tell because this article is atrociously written.

I started rolling my eyes at "reader surveillance is a deeply intersectional threat", and it didn't get any better from there.
A whole lot of platitudes and speculation about how women and minorities are hardest hit, but essentially no actual information on who is doing what with which bits of data.

Almost no research, despite implying multiple threads to pull on interesting original research... and yet the article is 100% an appeal to emotion and/or tropes.
Opportunity lost , indeed

It has to be, otherwise the author would need to address the issue that they are writing an article about surveillance, for a site that attempts to load almost 40 different trackers when you read the article.
