Way back you could truly be anonymous. Their tracking ability was crappy, took time, and manpower. You could have e-mails with no personal details. Now they know you better than you know yourself.
Web3 is supposedly the answer to all of that.
The whole pitch is the user owns their data and their account is their wallet, and so a new account (wallet) can be generated and you can start fresh
That’s the pitch at least.
And there’s a lot of people in that world who believe strongly in that use case
Obviously there’s the flip side and the real risk it goes the other way and it’s just improved tracking and monitoring we can’t escape.
Too early to tell at this point imo
Start over might be good. Although I bought my first computer in the late 70's, I didn't do any business at all via computer until 15 years ago. I do 0 business via cellphones, but they are making it harder and harder.
