Because they are blinded by the free.
- stephenr 13y agowhat about the businesses that sign up for google apps, PAY FOR IT, and still get ads, and their data treated like a common prostitute to share around with the world?
- anxiousest 13y agoAds in paid Google Apps are subject to admin control to whether enable them or not. Also technically speaking "prostitution" is a human only trait.
- stephenr 13y agowould it be more accurate if i said their personal information is whored out to the highest bidder?
- anxiousest 13y agoNo. For the same grammatical reasons and for the more important fact that they don't sell data or information, they sell ad placement that get populated with relevant ads determined by analysing said data. Advertisers don't buy the data, they aren't exposed to it, they are exposed to dashboards, aggregates, and abstractions, e.g "I want this product advertised to 18-35 year old males" then don't get to personally know their demographic.
- stephenr 13y agoguys in brothels don't get to personally know their whore, they say "i want a red head with big boobs" and pay the cash. i still say the analogy is apt.
