Oh, yeah!

Can’t come soon enough. Kneecap the need to datamine users.

I totally want to see this happen even if that means they will have to charge money for their heretofore “free” services.

This would be a big win for society, in my view.

This isn't data mining users. It's just tracking an ID against likely preferences detected automatically.

I think this topic becomes emotive because there are obviously ways to misuse data, but I struggle to see the actual harm in personalised advertising. If there's a data acquisition route that we all agree is bad, then we should ban that.

Personalized advertising is based on data, and there shouldn't be hard to see some ways in which misuse it, even with user consent.

And no, saying "Yes, I consent to cookies and terms of use and data collection" doesn't fix this.

Would you also ban store loyalty cards for the same reason?
