I'm saying that the underlying data is the same for both, so allowing one (targeted ads based on location) provides the data necessary for "locate where someone lives/works/hangs out/etc.".

With the result that you have to believe that the "targeted ads" provider is both secure and ethical.

"Secure enough" and "ethical enough". Plenty of organisations know stuff about me that I'd prefer not to be public or sold to the highest bidder. They might leak it to the government or one day be the target of a megahack - but I file that under either "meh" or under "acceptable risk".

But luckily
