I wonder if they can use things like opt out data to find a way screen for genetic markers of "troublemakers" or similar.
DNA driven targeted advertising that finds only the most docile consumers.
- oldgradstudent 3y agoThey can't tell you your eye color from their DNA data with any degree of confidence, and you seriously expect them to be able to find a marker of something as vague as "troublemakers" ?!
