None of these issues being mentioned are limited to Goodreads. If you're concerned with entities gatheting information about your personal proclivities, then your only option is to stay aff the internet entirely. What you do and what you like is no secret on the internet. Period. Sharing your reading history in Mobilread's "What Are You Reading Now" thread can be tracked by the same all-powerful entities.

You either need to eschew online technology of any kind, or you need to give up the idea that you can keep people from learning private things about you through your online activities. There is no mddle ground.

You maintain your privacy by being a private person. Not by going to public places (physical or virtual) and sharing things that can be overheard.
