The only difference is that Google/Facebook/Similar get to pretend to be clean, even though they are the enablers.
- makomk 7y agoThe only difference is that one of these two things involves giving a whole bunch of private, sensitive data about everyone to anyone who'll pay and the other does not. If that distinction doesn't matter to you then I'd say that this isn't actually about privacy at all.
- lithos 7y agoConsidering quite a few people here browse with Javascript disabled, and how angry they get when an adblocker becomes worse. It's pretty obvious that the people who are likely to be most knowledgeable on the topic (as tech people on a SV news aggregator website), that Google/Facebook/whatever aren't enabling "friendly neighbors". Running enough ads with your own tracking on SV platforms, will get you the data you want about your targets.
