Letting someone target you with their ad based on your location is not the same thing as from telling them where you are

Or telling them who you are. Google knows, but AFAIK they don't pass that along to the advertiser.

And that's important. I'd rather just Google (which isn't great) have that information than literally anyone willing to pay $0.50 for it (which is infinitely worse).
