Ayup that has been the holy grail of big tech.

They are most of the way there today. Make Identity Resolution inescapable. Bing bang boom.

It is more than just phones and lappys too. It's everything. That smart TV. That fitness watch. That automobile. That streaming music service. The ebook reader you got as a birthday gift.

Your behavior across every single device is data gold. This is today's reality.

Yep, data gold to sell to data brokers and investors so they can sell you shit that you don't need and can't even afford.
