I don't think you need to be Trump or a Trump supporter to find personalized ads offensive and unwelcome. I think there's pretty bipartisan agreement it's getting a little out of hand. For instance, when I was under 21, I often got ads for alcoholic beverages, even though those services knew my exact date of birth. Why was I given those ads? At the time I had no way of learning why.
- jessaustin 6y agoThe example you give seems to be an ad that wasn't sufficiently personalized. Was that also "offensive and unwelcome"? Everyone should just use uBlock Origin and be done with it.
- tt433 6y agoI'm with you on adblockers at least. I believe it was mobile youtube ads, which I've seen be highly personalized before. I do remember the video was one that minors were more likely to watch (gaming). My concern is that the alcohol companies were actually targeting an underage demographic, which is actually not illegal, since their industry "self regulates" their advertising.
