>> don't want to be advertised too
Most people probably don't mind seeing advertisements. It's just completely ridiculous that Google or FB think they need to track individuals in order to provide targeted advertising.
If someone searches for 'football', then just show a fucking ad that is relevant to 'football' along with the search results.
- spaced-out 8y agoWhat makes companies like Google valuable is that they can tell whether the user searching "football" should be shown an ad for "American football" or soccer. For that, you need tracking.
- vonmoltke 8y agoHow are you (any everyone else in this conversation) defining "tracking", and how does it differ from profiling? I can't seem to tell what people mean by "tracking" anymore.
