Ghostery has been selling your information to advertisers since 2011. Please stop living under a rock.

Ghostery has always been shifty. They block tracking, but then tracked you and sold advertisers what you've blocked.
>>
>>58960557
Ghostery was already owned by an ads and/or tracking company.
And besides being potentially shady, it has already been obsolete for ages due to uBlock Origin.

Nothing of value was lost on this day.
Rest in piss.

The information Ghostery sold was given to them by users who volunteered to do so. The collection of said data was optional and unchecked by default.

You didn't use Ghostery for years, so how would you know that it was shit for that entire length of time.

Ghostery was a victim of a smear campaign in 2011 and most of you are merely regurgitating the talking points of that campaign.

>Ghostery only anonymously tracked users who volunteered.

You have to admit a company who sells itself as a privacy advocate and the whole purpose is to block tracking and ads would even allow the option to give data or allow you to be tracked is rather absurd?
