Credit companies would do just fine if they couldn't sell your data. Loyalty programs don't need to sell your data, they existed before it was even possible.

Credit companies would do just fine if they couldn't sell your data. Loyalty programs don't need to sell your data, they existed before it was even possible. TV networks ... wait, how is broadcast TV even collecting your data.
None of these businesses NEED to collect and sell your behavioural and demographic data to exist. TV and newspapers would probably start doing OK if precision targeted ads were not possible.
- oaiey 6y agoGoogle how modern TV spies on what you view on your screen (not talking your Netflix App here ;))
- Ensorceled 6y agoRight, I know the bullshit Samsung etc. is up to. How is broadast television doing it?
- guyzero 6y agoNot broadcast per se but cable company set top boxes monitor your viewing habits and correlate them with your account which has a bunch of demographic data.
- Ensorceled 6y agoYeah, so not TV Networks (Fox,NBC,ABC,...) but Comcast/AT&T etc.
