Political tags are explicitly banned from the FLoC tagging data which identifies locally your 'secular', a-political preferences.
in contrast to that Facebook can identify you as LGBT+ today based off your likes and dislikes and shares.

Just because this is said to be so on paper doesn't mean it would actually be so. How would this work in practice with the LGBT example? Would every LGBT-related website be tagged as a "political" website in Google so that it is not included in the calculation? What about clearly non-problematic a-politicial categories which nevertheless serve as a good proxy for detecting LGBT members because of e.g. their increased interest in the topic? > in contrast to that Facebook can identify you as LGBT+ today based off your likes and dislikes and shares. This is irrelevant because we're not choosing. Facebook tracking is also terrible.
