Ok. Now how do I turn off the data mining?


Don't send requests to domains you believe are mining your data.


Or to domains that might log your requests and later be bought out by a company that mines your data.

Or to domains that might log your requests and turn around and sell the info to others.

Or to domains that might log your requests and then be cracked.

Oh wait. That describes half the fucking sites on the web.


I try to avoid it, though it is hard these days since so many companies do it. So besides that I'm also trying to convince people that they shouldn't put up with it.
