“It might sound like paranoia to some, but some people really don’t like the idea that they don’t have control over how their data is used.” @ssnstudy was recently quoted in an article for @WSJ regarding privacy-focused browsers.🌐

“Advertising intermediaries can strategically use the amount of information they collect about consumers in order to benefit mostly themselves…” - Alessandro Acquisti @ssnstudy, Trustees Professor Of Information Technology And Public Policy https://t.co/OoKwIduKcC

Talking about the great work of @ssnstudy here, who demo’ed in 2010 that a commercial face recognition algorithm paired w/a database of Facebook photos could identify 1 out of 3 Carnegie Mellon students IRL. Then Google bought that company & closed its services to outsiders.

Why should you be hesitant to purchase a product advertised to you online? “[Recent] studies consistently highlighted a pervasive problem of low-quality vendors in targeted ads,” wrote @ssnstudy, Eduardo Abraham Schnadower Mustri, & @IdrisAdjerid. https://t.co/MvLN9NXqyY @nytimes

Surveillance-based advertising is not only destroying democracy; it also pitches us lousy, overpriced goods.
