"but they’re a symptom of the surveillance culture that permeates the internet and threatens your privacy,"...

No.

Not a symptom.

They are an an actual *result* of the aggregation of your PPI data.

"Symptom" is a benign characterization.

"Result" denotes they're actually using your data for statistical analysis.
