    “Stop making the data collection profitable, and this goes away. If behavioral advertising were banned, the industry wouldn’t exist.”

    I’m holding my breath.

        That feels like a pretty big false equivalency. There’s a huge consumer demand for cocaine, that’s the whole reason cartels exist.

        No consumer wants behavior driven marketing, it’s forced on them for the benefit of companies. If ads were outlawed right now, I doubt you’d find any communities online trying to get bootleg ads working on their machine lol

    Israeli company legally allowed to produce and sell digital spycraft, only to verified western nations, has clients of dodgy and murderous origin. News at 11.

    I wonder if Jamal Khashoggi would still have been brutally hacksawed into individual bits in an embassy if not for Pegasus.

    Call me crazy but I have my doubts.
