These laws make no sense at all because basically no one is actually hurt by ad tracking (it actually improves ad quality and relevance), except if you just think advertising in general is wrong.
All of these data privacy laws are just a minority of people wanting to push back against capitalism and big tech. I get it but it's such a waste of energy.
- jkubicek 4y agoI value my privacy. I don't have a relationship with data brokers and I see no need for them to know anything about me. For the record, I have no issue with targeted advertising within a single org. If Google shows me ads based on my search history or youtube history or gmail contents, that's great. If I don't want Google to know anything about me, the process is easy; I stop using Google/Youtube/Gmail. If Google shows me ads based on an online purchase at an unrelated web store, that's completely unacceptable. If I don't want Google to know anything about me, it's not clear at all how I would do that.
