A fundamental flaw in this, is it still involves user data, even if “anonymized”. You can advertise without any user data. We do it all the time. Does a television channel know your gender? Does a radio station know if you bought a car recently? Does the newspaper know your hobbies?
Non targeted advertising isn’t as profitable. (It lacks dark patterns)
For what its worth I still watch over the air TV
Yes they have known these things for decades
Yes, they actually CAN know those things.
How come?
Maybe they’re referring to demographic statistics of listeners/watchers (via surveys or something)
Thats a good point, those ads are far less profitable though, and as a result if mozilla offered that kind of service nobody would use it
