Let's also consider this theoretically from business point of view. If you were an ad network, and you could listen to what your customers talk about, would you use it or not?
- gruez 11mo agoIf the implication is that ad networks would want to, and therefore it's happening, that's terrible logic. I'm sure the US government would love to convince everyone they landed on the moon and won the space race, without actually having to send a rocket to the moon, but that doesn't mean that means the moon landing was faked.
- ndriscoll 11mo agoPart of the point of the space race was to flex on how technologically ahead we were with the implication that our weapons systems were also more advanced, so I suspect that given the choice to actually have more advanced technology vs. merely convincing everyone they did, they would prefer to have actually had that capability. Surveillance companies would presumably also prefer to actually have such capabilities while not broadcasting that fact lest people avoid them or demand they be regulated.
- JohnFen 10mo agoWell, I'm not a scumbag and have a modicum of ethics so no, I wouldn't even think about using it.
