I don't know when privacy got redefined to mean something else, but
that's exactly the opposite of privacy.  It's not something else.

Privacy - being left alone, undisturbed, not being spied on...

The tracking is insidious.  All it takes is for a friend to say, "here
have a look at this Youtube link," and then any other time you browse
through Youtube similar things seem to crop up in the sidebar.  Not much
of a problem if that happens to be your favourite music, but is if your
friend sent you to one of those stupid light your farts clips.

Boilerplate:  All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is
no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages
posted to the mailing list.

I don't think it's pure coincidence that "officialdom" sounds the same
as "official dumb."
