Sky Deutschland considering using bone conduction to force ads upon passengers

Basically the train riders, if they rested their head on the aluminum wall/frame, they'll get an advert beamed directly into their head. If they do this, and you need to ride their trains, get a 14" square sheet of quarter inch rubber to use as a head rest.

So we're up to polarized sunglasses, IR LEDs in the clothes, some form of audio scrambler and gait modifier, as well as having to secure things through TOR or other anonymizing services. Gods, privacy is so much work these days.
