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.

The usual consumer doesn't buy the bulk to do that target group calculation things by himself. Google does that for you!

The Government rather not let anybody outside know what their current target group is.
