This reminds me of a story of a litte boy that just said: "I like seeing personalized ads."... while dragging everyone with him.
It is incredible that this industry is allowed to operate like it does. If it vanished over night nothing would happen. The EU just had its strategy changed and pronounced that it is everyone's civic duty to share even more.
Doubtful it would be able to handle advertisers. Although I don't think many countries would be.
- dgellow 6y ago> The EU just had its strategy changed and pronounced that it is everyone's civic duty to share even more. What do you mean? I don’t really understand what that would mean, or what you’re referencing. Was that part of the State of the Union, or is it another announcement? Edit: I found it. It’s an information based on EU strategy document from February. “The EU is launching a market for personal data” https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/08/11/1006555/eu-data-trust-trusts-project-privacy-policy-opinion/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/08/11/1006555/eu-data-... That doesn’t look good...
