"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.
If cocaine were banned the industry wouldn’t exist
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
