- bduerst 7y agoThat is not an article about selling or giving up personal data. You dodged the question with irrelevant links.
- paulsutter 7y agoAbout a couple million times a second, to each of about 2000 companies that do realtime bidding, just now.
- emiliobumachar 7y agoThere's a distinction between selling targeted ads based on personal data, and selling personal data, eh?

- Nasrudith 7y agoThat is more a sound bite meme than anything factual. They can only sell the root data once to people who likely have no idea how to use it for advertising and would rapidly lead to very bad looking headlines the first time a stalker used it. Meanwhile they can use it to sell ads indefinitely.
- bduerst 7y agoEven less so. Google canned their project dragonfly, which was to share user data with the Chinese government, while Apple quietly handed over the iCloud encryption keys for all their users.
