No, you're not being paranoid
No, you’re not being paranoid. Sites really are watching your every move.
If you have the uncomfortable sense someone is looking over your shoulder as you surf the Web, you're not being paranoid. A new study finds hundreds of sites—including microsoft.com, adobe.com, and godaddy.com—employ scripts that
record visitors' keystrokes, mouse movements, and scrolling behavior in real time, even before the input is submitted or is later deleted.
and ...
"Collection of page content by third-party replay scripts may cause sensitive information, such as medical conditions, credit card details, and other personal information displayed on a page, to leak to the third-party as part of the recording," Steven Englehardt, a PhD candidate at Princeton University, wrote. "This may expose users to identity theft, online scams, and other unwanted behavior. The same is true for the collection of user inputs during checkout and registration processes."

Indeed. And if private corporations are doing this, it's likely that the government is getting access to the data.

Google, Amazon, etc...were initially funded by CIA. Make no mistake about it, they are part of the surveillance apparatus.
The intelligence community is about to get the equivalent of an adrenaline shot to the chest. This summer, a $600 million computing cloud developed by
Amazon Web Services for the Central Intelligence Agency over the past year will begin
servicing all 17 agencies that make up the intelligence community.

I asked Tinder for my data. It sent me 800 pages of my deepest, darkest secrets
With the help of privacy activist Paul-Olivier Dehaye from personaldata.io and human rights lawyer Ravi Naik, I emailed Tinder requesting my personal data and got back way more than I bargained for.
Some 800 pages came back containing information such as my Facebook “likes”, links to where my Instagram photos would have been had I not previously deleted the associated account, my education, the age-rank of men I was interested in, how many Facebook friends I had, when and where every online conversation with every single one of my matches happened … the list goes on.

I have no trouble believing all of that. There was a time, not too long ago, that conspiracy theorists were laughed at and ridiculed. Not so ridiculous anymore.
