A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.

In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

MODERATORS
FTFY.
The adverts on free websites for a very long time were not targeted.
Yes, they were except for the very early days of the internet.
They might not have been as targeted, but they still absolutely used whatever data they had available to serve ads to people most likely to click on them.
