"All of this might sound terrifying, but as assistant professor Arvind Narayanan and graduate student Steven Englehardt explain, the preeminence of Google, Facebookand others like them means that we only have a few major companies that we need to keep track of, rather than hundreds or thousands of smaller companies.

“Only a small number of companies have trackers that are really prevalent,” says Narayanan. “This suggests that external oversight and public pressure can lead to positive change.”"
