The compromise is to protect your privacy first, then indulge in browsing and on-line activities second. It's a known issue and there's simple ways to remain as anonymous or even invisible. I think it should be mandatory for schools to teach kids how to remain private and not post photos or personal data -- and the kids should be required to pass tests and maintain standards of conduct on-line, just as they must in school, in person.
ironically, all these sites like this one from a publisher like ZDNet try to gather as much data from the visitors as possible, then spend their time and resources on figuring out how to monetize and profit from what they glean.
