There are many people on the timeline of human history that believe that child slave labor, trafficking, robbery and murder are all harmless. These are all things that have been commonplace at various points in history.

If you are in an area with any population density you are sat within a few miles of more people that have committed or are currently committing those acts, with no regret at all, than there are CEO's of companies that do data acquisition for targeted ads.



Do you actually believe that child slave labor, trafficking, robbery and murder are equivalent to data acquisition for targeted ads?


It's called hypoerbole and kmix's position is laughable.

No one is banning ads, targeted ads or data collection.
