I also don't have a problem with ads. I have a problem with big businesses tracking every piece of data they can about every individual, selling that data to anyone who asks, and manipulating what they show to their users to achieve the highest ad impressions.
- deafpolygon 3y agoYes, and I have a problem with them double-dipping. Charging for an ad-free experience, and still selling my data to the highest bidder.
- daitangio 3y agoYeah this is the problem, and paying for the exact same ad-free service does not seem a solution to me.
- monetus 3y agoMeta isn't securus thankfully. Someone really ought to go after those bottom feeding monstrosities who actually sell your data.

- monetus 3y agoCambridge analytica involved actually bribery and apis that are now locked... can you buy realtime location data, or anything about me? How easily can you infer things about me via their platform since they locked down their APIs a decade ago almost? "They are all the same" is not a logical pov when you compare a monstrosity like securus with a behemoth like meta. Securus sells your data. Meta sells access to your eyeballs. Edit: I don't like defending advertisings behemoths; Securus and their ilk don't deserve to have a patsy however.
