I wonder if it helps at all, when all your family and friends are saying 'to hell with it...' and just ignoring the problem?
That is a good point, one day I found my phone number on my gmail account. I've never given it to them, but there at least a few dozens other people's androids around me. Same thing about FB's shadow profiles collecting information on people who never registered. There's no way to keep everything private unless you dig yourself up into a hole and never come back.
Still, I think the amount of data can be mitigated quite a bit as long as you keep nagging your friends about not putting you on the internet, and I suppose the impact if this data is reduced too.
Say, adds: They are intended to change my behavior. Even if someone can tailor them for me, it won't work unless I actually see them.
