just preemtively say no and leave the site. this is just another tracking vector for google and it should be discouraged.

i'm generally against this type of gating, where the people doing the right thing get punished disproportionately (even small slices of time add up to wasting thousands of human-years over the population) just to combat the tiny number of bad actors. target the bad actors directly.

it's the same for tsa security theater. let's put all those humans to work training dogs of all sorts and filtering them through people at the airport. the money for those privacy invading scanners can be put toward training and housing the dogs. our collective time is not wasted on silliness and standing in line, and we'd probably save a lot of tax dollars that way.
