“Absent this data, smaller enterprises will lose a critical path to reach and attract new customers, and consumers overall will have less exposure to new products and services that may interest them,”
Well the consumers who want that can stay opted into that privacy nightmare then
This part is pretty laughable.
Fr. They always say that shit like everyone should care about their industry. Like nah b that only negatively affects you and whatever congressmen you bribe
Oh nooo, the poor wittle advertising companies that always try to manipulate us into always buying more shit we don't neeeed. Oh nooooes
Right? How will they be able to afford naming rights to venues, etc. Imagine if advertisers like today had been around in ancient times. We would have things like The Great Samsung Wall, the Khufu.com Pyramids of Egypt, or Kentucky Fried Chichén Itzá. Advertising like we have now is literally a herpes on society and no tears will be shed by me if their industry is undermined.
