If you ask me targeted advertising should be illegal. Talk about an invasion of privacy. I would actually LOVE to see some lawsuits over targeted advertising.

All media is target market advertising.

I'd pay damn good money for a browser that will get rid of ads, yet still keep the internet functional for ya. Allowing you to say, see a news article, but block all the pro-liberal ads like over at the N.Y. Slimes for example.

As for data mining, which is HOW they target market you. Look no further than Mr. Zuckerberg and Facebook.

Yep he sells the information Facebook is able to glean about you. To Companies who then target you with their ads.

Don't ya just love the liberals at work now?

All media does not track your "window shopping" then blitz you with advertising banners for the next month on completely unrelated sites.

How many times have you gone to Facebook only to see a banner advertising something you were looking to purchase yesterday? I see it all the time.

There is a difference between targeting a market and targeting an individual based on his internet traffic.

Which really sucks when you share a computer with 5 daughters and a wife...   The crap they search for defies male logic - but I still love 'em.
