One follows from the other. Tracking, matching and profiling of individuals isn't done for kicks, or because evil governments are asking - it's done for two reasons:
- Tune the advertising to best manipulate a particular person (think of it as a PID controller tuning inputs to a system);
- Ad attribution - i.e. determining which companies in the advertising chain should get paid when a customer buys something from someone.
Restricting the shape and form advertising is allowed to take addresses the driving factors behind privacy violations.
