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.
