I have no sympathy for that. Creepy stalking as a business model? There is no polite response that does it justification.

Even less sympathy. Find a business model that does not treat your customers as fungible units to be reached en mass. Your benefit does not make me happier about my suffering.
The creation of a surveillance network that removes privacy entirely (which is what we do not have because we stopped facebook, but it is still a risk - forever vigilant) is too high a price to pay for your business success.
Golly. You made me angry.

The goal of the customer is to use the product to its fullest potential. Re: advertising, customer will hyper target as much as possible. The blame is squarely on Facebook for allowing invasive targeting. That said, I really enjoyed the fine grained hyper targeting when I was running some local election campaigns. I could literally send messages to specific friends via the ads!
