Are there dentists in the US who don't x-ray kids every six months? I thought the incidence on youth cancer was relatively well established, is it not?

Replying to @IEthics
Not that I'm defending Facebook in the least here, but it's more complicated than "just use contextual".
Advertisers want dossiers because they believe (not necessarily rightly) that that works better. It speaks to their fantasies.
If you don't provide, you lose their business.
This leads to a classic game in which no one can de-escalate, certainly not with that number of players. Everyone has to either track, or have the means to not play the ads game.
There is one way out though: browsers. Safari showed last year that they could kill the majority of tracking dead, effectively and reproducibly.
Other browsers could do the same. No tracking, no dossier. No dossier, different ad world.

That's an awful lot of people to do the dispelling to, many of whom have staked their career on this and convinced themselves it's "just segmentation" and "delivers more relevant ads".

It's easier to fix the technical issue upstream in the same way that it's easier not to sell guns than to make sure everyone uses them safely.
There is just no reason to enable the tracking in the first place.

Google has just announced to the world that third party tracking in advertising would require prior explicit informed consent from users (under the #GDPR).
