Lot of folks here making the "nothing to hide? Great show me your browsing history" type arguments.

I think this isn't really arguing in good faith. There's a big difference between a personal friend knowing something about you, and a faceless algorithm knowing something about you. The two cases are different; it's fair to argue about how one is better or worse, but they are different.
