I think the privacy concerns are more than you make them to be though. See the big debate about Phorm in the UK as just an example where not even the name was involved.

It can be as simple as using a nickname on facebook, or more elaborate, depending how concerned I am. hmmmm… interesting thought (from an advertiser’s perspective).
