Re:What If We Made Advertising Illegal? by mgraczyk on Saturday April 05, 2025 @06:30PM (#43597342)
My counter argument to things like this:

As you pointed out, very simple registries are already more than sufficient for government oppression. Detailed data that Facebook collects, like which brand of dog food you prefer, is neither necessary or even helpful for government oppression. The ads data is not even 1% as useful to them as things like telephone records, which the telephone companies will happily send as required by law
