istanbullu comments on Mozilla Welcomes Anonym: Privacy Preserving Digital Advertising

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.

They are worth nothing compared to targeted ads online that know your soul.

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.

That's not what digital advertising is though.

The person I reacted to didn't talk about only digital advertising

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.
