@riverpunk the relationship between ads and data brokers, ask your school librarian if they have access to business development databases which is basically a front end to data brokers. You can do things like give me all people that live in this neighborhood, that are 20-25, have good credit, and have a cat. Should tell you percentage population and likely names and addresses ... All fueled by ads and credit cards pretty much.
@riverpunk it also ties into your surveillance pricing because they'd use that info to figure how they can squeeze you
