This is but one of many reasons why people should (have) cared more about net neutrality and the abilities companies have to reduce the internet to a giant advertising platform without limits on how they can shuffle your personal info around.

If we had greater protections for personal data, we wouldn’t have an entire internet that’s now essentially a series of scams and grifts to keep you clicking.
