Re: F*ck the marketers
This admission that they would lose 80% of advertising targets (people like you and me) if they couldn't advertise at them without their permission - this exposes the falshood of their usual claim that targeted ads "benefit" audiences by showing ads for things they're supposedly interested in. If the marketers can't get a person to agree to it voluntarily, it's not a benefit for that person, and the standard excuse is a lie. |
