Advertising doesn't require stalking people 24/7 though many seem to have convinced themselves this creepy behavior is a normal state of affairs. First it was just contextual information like text and location. Now its morphed into something incredibly sinister and toxic. Hundreds of thousands of people are devoted to building detailed historical profiles and models to give advertisers the ability to micro target people based on sexual preferences, moods, race, religion, political inclinations and other intimate personal information that should not be available COLLATED to anyone. All accompanied by apologism, hand waving, muddying the waters, deception and denial. It's ironic our societies depend on those who are hungry and deprived to be ethical and not succumb to theft and loot while those who have can behave without ethical constraints and discuss it in a detached intellectual manner.
