Every single person working in the adtech industry is complicit in this.

Joseph Cox’s reporting on the geolocation/tracking shit the US Gov buys up really highlights the direct link between consumer tracking (to sell them shit) and government intrusion into privacy.

Please let me know how to buy bulk consumer data from Google/Microsoft/Apple/Amazon/etc-ad platform.

Ad-Tech isn't the ones selling data; they want to be high up in the value chain. Your ISP/phone company _is_ literally selling your geo-location and data (internet) usage.

Exactly. I'd go as far to say that attention on government and Google/Microsoft/Apple/Amazon is a (deliberate?) distraction from the shitty apps, internet service providers, and mobile phone companies selling all the data they can collect. If John Q Public knew that their visit history to adult websites was for sale, they would drop the service and demand legislation immediately.
