    Advertising can’t be privacy preserving. What gives advertisement value is the fact that it’s targeted.

      Advertising signs next to a road are both targeted and privacy respecting, just like radio/tv.

        That’s a really good point.

        However the company that Mozilla just purchased was about targeted advertisement campaigns… “data-driven advertisements”

          Yeah I’m aware, I just reacted to the general statement about advertising that was untrue imho.

      Contextual ads can be privacy preserving. As in Netflix ads in a entertainment page. The problem is targeting the ad on people, and not on content.
