In this persons defence it’s like them claiming you could have a tumour removed from your brain to save your life. Then you reply prove it. Then they say I’m not a surgeon. Then you say don’t make claims you can’t back up. There are steps missing in the logic

There's a world of difference between leaving enough info in Public Internet for some rando to find you and needing a search warrant. It's trivial to check someone's comment history on reddit for selfies and start looking for landmarks. I've always kept a hard divide between anything that has my real name and my shit posting.

I think the part that you’re missing is the amount of tracking that goes on in the background. This is basically public in that you don’t need a warrant to access it though you do have to have money. These ai companies have plenty and they have motivation

Randos on the internet don't have access to that though. I wasn't going to get into it, but I also run blockers for those sorts of things as well. The few times I've seen targeted ads, they've always been way off my actual demograph.

Yeah he's just be a cunt that pretends he doesn't understand nuance to feel superior. Still plenty of that from reddit here

I see where you’re coming from but let’s not resort to name calling. They may see their error or reply with a credible counter argument

Or they may be 12 years old irl.
