It's not my revenue. If you believe any business is evil if it has has paid salaries out of the revenues boosted by efficient advertising, that's your prerogative.
I am open to hearing how exactly targeted advertising has damaged our society but I will not accept vague notions of spying and privacy as an argument.
Most of the entities powerful enough to spy on you currently, will continue to do so discretely.
Could you elaborate which part of Cambridge Analytica's actions you object to? Not that I disagree but I don't consider targeted advertising, that is available to everyone during election, as a smoking gun of any kind. I assume you are more so referring to the fact they illegally obtained people's data (gathering of which wasn't related to targeted advertising).
To be honest, I don't remember the details and I don't want to waste time looking them up again anymore.
My opinion (and that seems to be that of many) is that targeted advertising is not desirable. Neither from a user perspective (I don't want to give my data to a FANG company) nor from a society perspective.
It opens up the flood gates for misuse like the CA case and it doesn't make the world a better place. And it's not only that isolated case, it's FB's own behavior - things like scraping and cross referencing Bluetooth network and contact information. It's a recipe for disaster.
You asked me 'Does "Cambridge Analytica" ring a bell?', but apparently it barely rang anything for yourself.
I see you haven't researched the topic in question and have stated you are not going "to waste time". This actually succinctly summarizes most of the knee-jerk reactions.
I'd imagine that's somewhere near Khmelnytskyi? Ukraine would have folded well before any fighting got there, Russians would need to either run a massive attack from Belarus or totally overrun Dnipro.
It’s not far from South-Ukrainian Nuclear Plant, north of Odessa. That region is not an active war zone and there’s no meaningful targets in that specific town. It’s just the first blackout in the last 9 months.
Meh. There's an occasional interesting thing, but 90% of it you could do on autopilot. It does solve problems, it works reasonably, it's not too bad technically, but it's just not that interesting. I liked my SRE stint much more, but I just can't fit oncall into my life.
I can also see data governance being an issue, giving someone from China access to your customer data would light red lights at a lot of European companies.
