Yeah, targeted ads are a thing for long time now. How do you think my bank adds pops up on reddit? Banks, Visa / Mastercard are selling your data to whoever so they can make more money so I’d rather have my Government have this data rather than private companies
As I’m still waiting to see those targeted ads I assumed people are idiots and blasting out their identity and interests all over the place…
PS: Also I was talking about actual finger printing. On the physical bills. To trace them through all the hands between me getting them from a bank and some bank getting them back. The finger printing involved in targeting a ads online is a completely different thing… and easier to avoid, too, as it can be done with a one time setup where IRL I would constantly need to remember to put on gloves.
And how did I blast my identity by having bank account? I don’t even use same email on reddit and my bank, yet I see my bank (very small regional bank) on reddit ads. People has to stop pretending they’re anonymous in internet, just because you’re government has some data access doesn’t mean you’re being worse off because current system has all your personal data on open market and on top of that they makes you pay hefty fee to even use it. So again I’d rather pay smaller fee and have my data be controlled by my Government than keep having Visa / Mastercard going wild west with it.
