Tough story... What’s interesting in the post is that the author is not mad at ads in the first place, she’s angry at the failure of the algorithm to adapt to her situation. So this is something that companies could fix. Like when they infer something about your state, they could ask you about it, and have a setting “on and off” ads. Like: “hi, our algo tells us you may be pregnant, are interested in seeing ads for these kinds of stuff or not”? And that could be a setting you could remove. Maybe it’ll spook some users off... In any case there should be a button “stop trying to infer shit about me”. Perhaps it’d be a good way to introduce pay $5 a month for total privacy Facebook.
