“I really hope the tech giants start respecting their user’s privacy”
Their business is make money with their users (or used). We must demand a new way to make money, start to think again that privacy matters.
But new generations has been striped of that thought, and it’s hard to change that mind…
Let’s continue offering different choices, different and ethical services…

The author should probably revise the targeted advertising argument: many people I know feel they prefer targeted ads. “If I’m going to see ads I’d rather see ads for stuff I might actually want.”

I prefer being able to support websites by looking at ads.
I prefer looking at relevant ads over Viagra or hot chicks in my area.
I'm not willing to run 3rd party scripts in my browser
I'm not willing to have my personal data collected and shared with 3rd parties
I value my privacy higher than the survival of websites, if they can't survive without endangering me I'm sorry but you're going to have to find other ways to monetize.

> I am the opposite, If I see a targeted ad, I just leave the site.
The site usually does not usually handle the serving of ads themselves. They often use a service like AdSense to outsource advertisements.
Just because a site has targeted ads doesnt automatically mean its bad.

Moreover, if I see any ad of any product. I put that product/service on my I want to avoid this product if possible list.
I do not like propaganda and that is what ads are.
If I need something, I will search for it. Do not tell me what I need.
