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.

GP never said adtech selling data, but they are complicit in the widespread sale of our data to governments. Is adtech not responsible for making the tools that only exist to sell us ads and soak up our data?
