You can’t attack the problems online advertising presents one by one, any solution needs to think about the other issues around it. It isn’t just about privacy.

If there was a reasonable sized white list of fairly harmless “interests”, then maybe. The way things are now, interest groups are too fine grained and far too personal.

I’m not convinced at all that granting small businesses access to this kind of targeted advertising is worth the risks it introduces.
