I think they get the description about ( “...via targeted ads”) I’m not sure there is anything particularly “creepy” going on — it’s hardly a secret how this works. They give you a valuable free services, you endure targeted ads.
DuckDuckGo seems like a great product, but it's unfortunate to see them perpetuate the myth that Google/Facebook sells your data to the highest bidder - or, really 'sells your data' at all. https://spreadprivacy.com/privacy-simplified/ …pic.twitter.com/G7FHp6oUrO

I don’t think most people understand that. Most think that they deliver personal information about you to advertisers.

How is that a myth?

They don’t sell information. They sell ads. The advertisers don’t know who you are, any personally identifying information, or anything about you.

Have you heard any better ways to communicate this? Agree that most people don’t understand “sell your data” means advertising. But most people also don’t understand that your data is being monetized and what the implications of that are. Wondering what the proper phrase is..

With increasingly granular targeting doesn’t advertiser get a pretty good picture of each visitor?

Targeted ads wouldn’t be targeted ads if they weren’t able to target people.
