How do you mean? Advertisers can tell exactly how well these algorithms work, they see how much they spend and what they get in return.
It's not necessarily a significant problem if your ad is only relevant to 1% of the people who see it, as long as it's profitable.
- danaris 8y agoSure, but there are two separate questions here: 1) Did they successfully determine that she had a stillbirth/miscarriage? 2) If so, did they use that information to improve their ads? The answer to 2 is clearly "no". Thus, the remaining question is not whether they found it profitable to use the information, but whether they were able to gather it in the first place. Particularly given NorthOf33rd's claim that they're gathering "everything."
