Source? Google is literally an online ad monopoly, and being sued for it. They did track and continue tracking users, and they sell data though their SSP, DSP, ad networks, ad exchanges they own.
- Mindwipe 1y agoThat is not "selling data". That is exactly what I said. They sell targeted advertising.
- AlienRobot 1y agoThe data is their golden goose. They only sell the eggs.
- Workaccount2 1y agoFind the webpage where you can buy googles user data. Not where you can buy ad slots, but where you can buy the raw tracking data like data brokers sell. I'll wait.
- clippyplz 1y agoTry looking for something like "cia ads track" in your favorite search engine. The data comes with the ads, it's not a secret.

- jfoster 1y agoHeavily aggregated data. Nothing even close to personally identifying.
- madeforhnyo 1y agoStill, it is _personal_ data collected and sold by Google, which was the point raised by gp comment. As for it being personally identifying, the aggregation/pseudonymization/anonymization process doesn't even prevent precise identification [0]. I'd say it's pretty close.
