Note that you provided reasons as to why having debit/credit card information stolen isn't such a big deal, if you get protection from fraudulent transactions, but haven't provided any reasons as to why Google targeting ads based on some profile they built on you is worse than that.

Because one is a minor inconvencience, the other is psychological warfare used to modify behaviour. It's baffling why you'd think the Google example is somehow less dangerous, especially considering its a given that they have profiled your political views as well as your spending habits, among every other aspect of your life.
