I don't understand what you're trying to say. If you already know where someone is, what's the point of using targeted ads to try to locate them?
The point of OP is that I can't use targeted ads to answer the question "Person X: where are they?".
- pwg 8y agoI'm saying that the underlying data is the same for both, so allowing one (targeted ads based on location) provides the data necessary for "locate where someone lives/works/hangs out/etc.". With the result that you have to believe that the "targeted ads" provider is both secure and ethical.

They might leak it to the government or one day be the target of a megahack - but I file that under either "meh" or under "acceptable risk". But luckily
