I read somewhere that a big addition of anonymized data can point pretty precisely to an user or an user category.
Even if data is anonymized, we(I?) are(am?) tried of being anonymized and analysed and quantified for “quality purposes” or other “studies”.
@zlutor, nothing against you but is that honestly thought/said?
I, in contrary, have the feeling that ads are served by me.
Also, I consider any kind of advertising as a waste of attention, energy and time.
Ad is expensive.
All those efforts are being paid by the final user for…? → For convincing the same final user to buy something.
Advertising is also a vehicle for models and ideologies which often promote non-constructive and non-progressive conceptions.
People became tired of being seen as children, being told what to buy, what to like or dislike.
SFOS privacy is not only the absence of personal data leaks. (output)
SFOS privacy is also the peace in my private sphere. (input)
I want to be left in peace in my phone and computer.
No constant notifications, reminders, ads, warnings, antivirus, anti-all, kindly disguised threats … no intrusion, just peace.
Friends and family, people, music, art, readings… Definitely not advertising. We are grown and know what we want to buy or not.
If it can’t be sold, it perhaps needs to be improved, not given for free with crap-trap.
@zlutor, I don’t respect or dis-respect your position. I don’t judge. I ignore your motivations but recognize them as a right. I sometimes work in advertising myself.
I only express my personal taste as user who needs respect for his very personal places and moments which are, yes, today, also in a phone.
