I was thinking the same thing. This article seems remarkably light on the facts. They throw around a handful of scary words, but there is very little evidence to back it up or even specifics of how this surveillance might be happening or what data is being sold.
How is this even possible? The article has nothing to back this up.
And it's not even an e-book! Elsevier uses a custom JavaScript "reader". So it's just a web page. But I think someone read their privacy policy and got confused about what they are capable of.
