”Businesses are the real victims.”
—Another fake quote
I'm confused.... AFAIK the biggest ad company, Google, doesn't share your private info. It's not in their interest to do so. Instead they keep it to themselves and then offer ads by categories so as a 3rd party I can say "Please target this ad at 'video game players'" but I can't ask "give me the names of video game players"
The issue is by including google tracking on their web page, then from a legal point of view the publisher is sharing your information with Google

Google is the company that your info gets shared with.
Google being the biggest ad company does not give them the right to surveil all that walks the earth.
