All the on-line advertisement industry has gone too far. As an example, I found a site with a walkthrough of a game I was playing. The typical site that many kids and teenagers will use to get unstuck in a game. The pop-up listed over 1,500 companies that would get my data. And many of that companies seem aggregators that would share my data further. 1,500! I have mixed feelings of the government accessing my data. There is a balance to be found between privacy and security. But that 1,500 companies from around the world would start tracking me, or anyone that visit what seems an innocuous page, is gruesome. Targeted advertisement is creepy as hell. It is mind-disturbing to know that each step I do is tracked by thousands of companies, to know that tens or hundreds of thousands of employees have access to my data. That each time I search for a video game, a place to go on vacations or a an answer to a job related question, I will be evaluated by algorithms that are creating a profile of me, as a human being, to predict what I want or need. Advertisement has its value. But, that level of intrusion is humiliating and attempts against everybody dignity. I hope that GDPR watchdogs get more founding and fines start punishing hard these criminal behavior.
