EU Parliament pushes to ban ads targeting health, religion, sexual orientation
Hear me out - unpopular opinion. Banning targeted ads wastes everyone’s times.<p>Ads for things that have zero applicability to me are a waste of my time, the advertisers time, everyone’s time. We’re not going to ever live in a world without ads and I would far rather they be an actual service to me, presenting me things I actually think are cool and might like to buy.<p>A well targeted ad can be a net positive to my life. An ad for something I would never use, ever, because it doesn’t apply to me is a net negative.
