Or, instead of spying on millions of individuals and then selling ad space based on the results of that illegal behavior, ad companies could do what they always did before which is identify venues that attract a certain audience and sell the ad space in front of those venues. For an ad company that also owns two of the biggest media websites in the world, this should not be a difficult problem.

- cloutchaser 4y agoYour entire comment is about what companies “could” do instead, implying that’s somehow a viable alternative. It’s not. Whether it’s right or not is a different question, which is exactly what I am debating from both sides in my original comment.
