If Facebook and Google are like Stasi and KGB, how about we start dealing with collaborators? By default, Facebook and Google can only surveil you on their own premises - on facebook.com, *.google.com, some parts of Android experience, etc. But lots - likely most - of their data comes from wilful collaborators - people and companies that put Google analytics, social plugins, and other adtech ware in their products.

What I worry about is that even if (through a miracle) Facebook gets slain, someone else will quickly step up to take their place. In the world of adtech, surveillance is a free market.
