> Then CA happened and data sharing should be prohibited, now this from the FTC with more flip flopping Here is a direct quote from the FTC's letter: "The FTC is committed to protecting the privacy of people, and efforts to shield targeted advertising practices from scrutiny run counter to that mission." How is this "flip-flopping" by the FTC? The FTC wants to protect the privacy of individuals but has no interest in protecting the privacy of large corporations. That is and has been the stance of the FTC. The Cambridge Analytica event involved an advertising company exfiltrating data from individuals and their friends (under the guise of a "game") in order to use the data to target new ads. NYU was explicitly asking individuals to share some information about advertisers (corporations) and was entirely up front about everything. These two events should not be confused (which is what the FTC is explaining in this letter). Can you show me the FTC in the past defending the privacy of advertisers?
