Start teaching people to ignore ads. I know I do, and it's something my parents taught me when I was younger.

It won't help with data collection, but it will make it a lot harder for these assholes to put the pieces together.

How about teaching them to install Adblockers?

Only helps wherever adblockers work, but I'm all for a multiple discipline approach!

The only place adblockers don't work is real world billboards.
