Worse: because you have "entered into a contract" to "sell" your privacy rights, anything you do to claw those rights back is violation of your end of the contract. Using a tracker blocker like Privacy Badger makes *you* the cheater:

Even if you could get *actually* paid for the use of your private information, the sums involved would round to zero.

Companies like Facebook make pennies from your private data, and inflict harm on you that totals up to hundreds of times more than they actually make. The commercial surveillance industry are poster children for corruption: concentrated gains that are far exceeded by diffuse harms: https://locusmag.com/feature/cory-doctorow-zucks-empire-of-oily-rags/ But just because privacy doesn't fit well into a property rights framework, it doesn't follow that there's no way to do privacy well. 24/
