It's that pretty much Google ads?
- jancsika 9y agoNo, because Google advises their advertisers not to creep out their potential customers. AFAICT an ad from Google is chosen based on the reams of data Google has about me, but the content of the ad seems generic (or at least seems like it's meant to come off as generic so as not to creep me out). The hypothetical adtech I'm describing would of course choose the ad based similarly on reams of data about me, but the content of the ad would itself also be worded using invasive data about me. Google ad: "get some cheap technical degree" Creeperville Ad: "climb out of your 35,000+ debt with a technical degree" There are even more convincing examples wrt pornography but I'd rather not go down that rabbit hole.
