I'm sorry but personal privacy trumps someone's business.

People may hate apple but we're continuing down an advertising hellscape. I feel bad for the small business owners. But that's life.

I really don't understand this. Like, Facebook and Google don't have teams sitting down examining each user to assess what ads they like.

They just shove vast amounts of data into towers of ML models and a prediction comes out. They use that prediction to rank ads.

In this scenario, how was your privacy violated?

This isn't a troll, I'm genuinely interested in your answer.
