>GDPR is not meant to be followed to the letter, it's legislation on principle and will continue to be ineffective and only cause further problems for the EU, while entrenching the very companies that it most wanted to protect people from. California's privacy act is a much better legal framework in case you want examples. Everytime an advertiser complains about the GDPR I become more confident in its rightousness. >Privacy is also not incompatible, as even choosing the NYT to advertise on is still a targeted decision So you want to focus targeting completely on the source, not the individual audience member? Than we are in agreement. >dvertising will never die unless you entirely replace the economic system we have We could also just ban it. Not that I am against changing the economic system.
