Can we please keep this nonsense to lower quality sites like reddit? I like to pretend hacker news hasn't degraded this far yet.
- HDThoreaun 3y agoWhile not technically correct "sell your data to the highest bidder" is close enough to what Google and FB are doing, and the distinction is irrelevant for most people.
- rossjudson 3y agoPlease expand, and perhaps explain how Apple is different.
- ilyt 3y agoAd networks are running realtime bidding for ad space already in case you didn't know. At the very least Google and FB got punished for doing that already in the past
- fshbbdssbbgdd 3y agoApple also runs this kind of bidding now: https://searchads.apple.com/best-practices/bidding https://searchads.apple.com/best-practices/bidding If that’s not “selling your data”, we need to be more specific about what we are talking about.
