With respect to the Amazon link you provided, did you watch the video?
Amazon explicitly states that the ads provided are targeted based upon user action. So if you go to Amazon searching for music, they may show an ad on the side of the page that provides a discount offer for a specific band or artist.
As far as I know, Amazon doesn't sell user data to anyone, even for advertising.
- lokedhs 9y agoJust because they don't sell access to the information doesn't mean they're not being evil. That company is likely the worst in terms of user tracking out of all the companies mentioned in these comments. After all, this is a company that tracks not only what books you read, but how far you've read it, how much time you spent reading every page and how many times you went back to previous pages. This is also the company who has microphones placed in people's houses, happily installed by the users themselves. Given the fact that so many people people trust them with so many things, and their desire to be a provider of every single service, they certainly are a much bigger privacy invader than even Google or Facebook.
