I'm simply stating factors that are not insignificant compared to the difference we are talking about.

the policy discussion starts with cost-benefit analysis of "implicit profile-based ads" vs "alternative ads", and I'm simply stating that there are already many factors that ad networks consider.

FB/Meta rolled out Advantage+, which is a machine-learning-based full campaign optimization system. (The advertiser uploads many banners, and Meta tries all of them for various target groups, and learns which one to show for which users.) ... and it did all this because of Apple's ATT (app tracking transparency)
