The only way around it would be to live by yourself in a cabin in the hills of Montana.

and it is a sad fact then.
like I said before - filling papers to IRS, signing up to some service is giving your data according to your will...being spyed is different thing and it is illegal (well, at least in my country).
it is a sad fact that "young" people have to explain that to "older" people...privacy is basic human right, not privilege...unless it is different in USA like it was different in Stasi's East germany (and few other countries too
, but not on such scale) )
