- rfrey 7y agoWhat is the goal then, for profit seeking advertising companies like Google and Facebook?
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoScam the advertisers.
- lame88 7y agoEasy, it just means advertising doesnt cover everything. The fact that they know so much about you is valuable in itself and they can sell access to that data, for example... to cambridge analytica. Advertising is just one of the ways in which corporations exploit information to manipulate people’s behavior.
- velp 7y agoFacebook never sold data to CA
- lame88 7y agoPlease elaborate on how i've been misinformed in this respect. I've gotten downvoted a bit without much feedback. Also, since the distinction matters, I would like to point out that I claimed selling "access to" that data, not selling the data directly.
- drdeadringer 7y ago> Relevant ads were never the goal That, then, is "targeted advertising" against this non-goal?
