Name any major organisation that’s not selling data excluding companies such as signal and (presumably) apple…
- Obscurity4340 3y agoThat's ok, but there should always be transparency in who is collecting the data and the chain-of-custody of data collected. The ad agencies and everyone affilliated thrive in the current darkness...
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoSorry that’s a valid point, my point is that I’d like to not have my data sold in the first place,
- xnx 3y agoGoogle, Facebook, Microsoft
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoYou don’t think they’re selling the data to other departments internally?
- ethbr0 3y agoThe only reason those 3 aren't selling data is that they have the vertical integration to launder and monetize it themselves. They don't have to sell it, because they can keep it, productize it, and then sell the targeting information to advertisers, without revealing the underlying data. -- Imagine a Google, Facebook, or Microsoft without an ad network and devices/apps to serve it on. Then tell me they wouldn't immediately be selling their tracking data to anyone who would buy.
- JohnFen 3y agoYes, but that's because they do the dirty work themselves. The dirty work is still being done. It's marginally better that they don't "sell" the data, but their collection and use of it is still horrible.
