    They do all this tracking and I still don’t get advertising for the things I really want. I’m currently getting ads for a company that two states away from me. And they don’t operate outside that state.
    And Facebook squealing about it just makes me think billionaire tears are tasty.

    Apple business is to overcharge for under-delivering while sticking an apple sticker in the hardware. It still baffles me how many people are willing to spend on iPhone apps for stuff you can get free on a PC, and you can easily stop FB tracking (most of it) with a few plugins.

    Aw, c’mon, guys. I mean, yes, FB is making billions turning you into an easy target for businesses… But one of those businesses is owned by a black woman! This sounds like an SNL Mafia sketch.

    Sadly the most popular services provider google, the only way can opt out is by not signing in or even using their services. Go ahead opt out of everything on YouTube and delete all your data they have a UI for it, as long as you’re signed in you will still get tailored recommendation based of what you do on YouTube and every other google related service. Google almost makes Microsoft seem honest, almost.

    I have always favored Android for reasons like having external storage, and them not changing the features that require new purchases for your phones. but with Apple’s new opt-in standard and now that you have to buy cloud storage for both operating systems I’ll be considering switching.

    Facebook: selling your data to everyone
    Apple: locking your data into their ecosystem
    doesn’t matter what phone you or apps you use, unless you are off the grid the tech companies have your data already

    I have never seen an ad for a small business on Facebook. So I wonder if Facebook is giving company’s priority based on their size and how much they pay them for advertising.??

    Facebook: “How will a young man find about things he wants to buy without targeted ads to help him?!”

    Research his options and find the product he wants? Kind of like how people have done since the dawn of civilization? Despite what the PR officials at Facebook apparently think, young people these days CAN actually figure out what they want without an advertiser shoving it down our throats.

  • Felicious 2 years ago

    In theory I have nothing against Apps collecting data to personalise the adds that are shown to me. But in practise Facebook and co failed to treat this personal and sometimes intimate data as something worth saving from unauthorised access. For example there is currently data publicly available about more than 500 Million FB users including their phone numbers and many more things.
