> Fundamentally, Google's initiative on differential privacy is motivated by a desire to not lose data-based ad targeting while trying to hinder the real solution: Blocking data collection entirely and letting their business fail. We don't usually call something infeasible "a solution", especially it means a fundamental structural change without giving a viable alternative to power a 300B market. So tell me, what is your proposal to give an approximately similar amount of efficiency to the market? If you don't have the one, that's fine but your criticism doesn't really resonate since at least Google tries to improve the status quo.
