Brave files adtech complaint against Google
From what I understand, Google isn’t actually giving away people’s data to “hundreds of companies” for advertising purposes.<p>When an advertiser wants to target a specific group of people, Google doesn’t say “here’s everyone’s private data, good luck”. GOOGLE does the filtering and targeting internally.<p>I’m sorry but that isn’t evil or bad. Unless we want to start paying for google searches and Facebook, this is how it’s going to be. And personally, I actually <i>like</i> getting ads relevant to my life. For example, I even got my current job based off a highly relevant Facebook ad.<p>My personal suspicion is that people are just jealous of how much success Google and Facebook have had.
