       @SwiftOnSecurity I'm still reeling from learning that the ice cream trucks in Britain play Greensleeves. Are we sure Britain is real?

       @fribbledom the best part is all of this tracking results in useless data that fails to actually target any better than just guessing demographics that would enjoy the given content that the ads gets loaded around (y'know how ads were targeted back in the broadcast TV/Radio days)

       @fribbledom given the sheer size and scope of the surveillance advertising economy I seriously have to wonder what the world would look like if it were legislatively banned and advertisers would have to revert to just guessing demographics to pair ads with content, what would the downstream ramifications be? Would algorithmic social media suffer at all? Would the quality of ads improve or stay the same? What happens to the mobile gaming scene in such a scenario? Would the cost of some devices go up steeply or remain relatively the same? How would it impact different media types given they're no longer competing for algorithmic ads? How would automated ad buying/selling change? I have so many questions that I may simply never know the answers to!
