That's why the public needs to push for advert targeting to be illegal - this way there will be no point to collect such data in the first place.

The targeting should only work in a following way:

- I sell car tyres, therefore to find my consumers I'll buy an ad on the Facebook car group.

Instead of:

- I sell car tyres, find anyone who asked their friends about where to buy car tyres, who is between 20-40, Caucasian, has a good credit score and has autism and is into rubber jokes.
