This sort of technology easily allows a company to see exactly what a user is looking at and for how long. This information gives that company data on what ads work, what ads do not work, what ads to display to that user, the list goes on and on.

This kind of data is worth millions, if not billions.

Facebook, Google, Amazon, and the other powerhouse websites/companies have an obscene amount of power that they continue to consolidate year after year. People fear the government's when they should be fearing these companies that they willingly give their soul to.

Interesting times to live in.
