"I thought the issue was targeted advertising rather than World domination in a physical sense."

Matt44, the issue for me is of interception of private correspondence, which is in violation of human rights to privacy and in breach of statutory protections of privacy in electronic communications.

Targeted advertising and whether there is consent to it is not a trivial issue (it entails consequences such as the potential theft of finite, paid-for bandwidth and CPU cycles as well as the risk of the inclusion of inappropriate content), but it is a side-issue in comparison with these fundamental human rights.
