true I agress, I hate facebook/google a lot for developing tools to track users and target ads based on their personal data. yes, it optimized advertisers money but at the cost of our privacy. I know, If it is not fb/google someone else will develop the tools. I wish world governments will establish some doctrine on targeted ads and ads in general.

I am ok with seeing scam ads on shady small website, but for a company of google/FB scale . No. they should be more responsible. they have tools/money to be more responsible and yet they are not. the only reason I think is they are forcing people to turn off ad-personalisation this way.

by responsible I mean, we should have ability to report scam-ads even if we didn't sign-in/opt out of ad-personalisation.

every time , i try to report a scam-ad on youtube, it asks me to turn off ad-personalisation to proceed.
