I know I can leave Yahoo but what's the alternative to Yahoo's invasion of privacy?

I know I can leave Yahoo but what's the alternative to Yahoo's invasion of privacy just so they can collect/provide statistics? How would those principles like being tracked so intimately? Is this really ethical? May I meet up with the persons responsible, those that think its Business As Usual to track someone and disseminate their data?

    The stats they provide don't identify individuals and can't be used to identify individuals.

    As such, your privacy is not affected

    How do you think they're able to provide the service for free? They all do it. If you think Yahoo is the only one you;re wrong.

    There is NO SUCH THING as online privacy. If you post it, it isn't private.
