Invasive and privacy-disrespecting technologies like social media advertising pixels from Meta and Pinterest, analytics and tracking software like Google Analytics, are indirect and sometimes direct violators of our right to NOT be infringed upon while surfing the web.

The shoes you were going to buy, but didn't, that are now appearing on your social media feed everyday because of the website your visited once, are not worth the price of you adding to the global pool of data these companies harbor. Saying "no" and promoting an "opt-in" culture is a matter of principle as well as an action against the potential vulnerabilities that come with this kind of data aggregation like a loss of digital personal information, forgery of financial information, selling of personal information to third parties, etc.
