I still think this is a good strategy for the purpose of snuffing out the incentives for surveillance business models.
- cobookman 8y agoWe do get x% of targeted ad rev. just isn't passed as USD, and instead paid by giving a free product.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoExactly. Your data is a currency. You spend it at FaceBook. You spend it at Google. What I think should happen is, there should be some protections regarding our data. I should be able to say, ok, FaceBook, I wish to no longer use your services so you need to stop billing me (collecting my data).

- velcrovan 8y agoRight, and I would like to force it to be passed as USD whatever else happens.
