At least the targeting is advertising and not drone strikes.

At least the targeting is advertising and not drone strikes.
- hedora 9y agoI’m sorry, but trying to draw this distinction is dangerously naive. In order to get decent ad targeting for most industries, they need more than enough information than is needed to target a drone strike. They are legally obligated to share this information with multiple governments (including the US) that openly and routinely engage in extra-judicial killings of civilians. The only solutions to this moral quandary are to either (a) change multiple governments, some democratically elected, some not, or to (b) simply not gather the information in the first place. Google has already tried and failed at option (a), and option (b) would eliminate the vast majority of their revenue.
