I failed to see how flocks (cohorts) change the dangers of tracking or targeting.
Cambridge Analytica didn't want to target a person. They wanted to track people. Flocks of people.

The actions of Cambridge Analytica-type groups are an important issue, but I don’t think FLoC is trying to solve that.
