      It sounds like everyone already has all that info, and all they seem to do with it is recommend gifts my mom would like based on her search history.

      I get targeted political ads, but who cares about those? I don’t form my opinion based on ads.

          It’s pretty easy for ads, they’re clearly labeled and anything in an advertisement is propaganda with little merit.

            Ah, who among us hasn’t been through an “I’m not influenced by propaganda because I know it’s propaganda (even if it’s granularly targeted to my biases)” phase? Many of us never get past it. I hope you manage to.

              We’re on Lemmy, formerly of Reddit. We sling propaganda at each other for fun, you think the Moms for America PAC can outdo the constant scrum on the politics subs?

              If you think I’m wrong, please offer more than just “(((They))) have all your info and will ‘propaganda’ you, it’s very scary and you’ll never know it’s happening!”

              It sounds like fearmongering to me
