The best choice to make when you don't have birth control and don't want to have a child is to not have sex, since even having sex using condoms and similar protection are not completely effective. Are you saying that birth contro

In 2019 people just don't care as much about censorship or freedom of speech as they used to. Not saying it's right, but that's the way most people think now. I can't remember how many times I've had conversations w

So if one company has that information it's OK, but once two companies have it it's a privacy concern?

It looks like the company itself targets the ads, rather than selling the data to another company to target the ads. This shouldn't actually matter. Why do you care if your private information is in the hands of company A or company B?

You shouldn't bargain with people who are willing to screw you over this blatantly. You don't know if you can trust what they say or their motives.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. You're right. These companies like workers who have no other responsibilities in their lives except their jobs. Edit: single men and exceptions to the rule, please keep downvoting me.
