Countless studies have shown how to extract personally identifiable information from Google’s monetization platform by giving them money.

They sell your data by any definition of “sell” that existed before they redefined the term so that it excludes their businesses.

Maybe you're right as I haven't seen the studies you're claiming prove this. I based my comment off my own experience using AdWords around 2013-2016 and then again around 2019-2021.
