Internet profiling

[Souron]

I think the biggest threats are the most subtle. Filter bubbles come to mind.

I for one find it useful to have things like equity comissions and cd rates served to me on a silver banner.

But I plan to delete my facebook one day, I wonder to what degree the 'deleted' data will be gone

The increasing corporate domination of the internet bothers me, but it really was unavoidable.

True,but it really is speeding up...I mean a few years ago it wasn't so bad.Now it seems whenever you play a video there is a commercial or if you search a certain topic.You will see ads relating to that topic.Eh annoying,but you are right.Its a cash cow and they were stupid to wait even this long.

I just hope they respect our privacy and this doesn't turn into some Modern Salem Witch Trail....

For some reason the internet thinks I need a woman because I've been offered sites for arab,muslim,persian, indian, british and american dating.

 

[Borachio]

I know. I don't know where to begin!

 

[Antilogic]

I've never, ever, seen Arab, Muslim, or Persian dating site ads.

Won't see them now, I've got a pretty nice ad-block system set up.

 

[dutchfire]

When you say "Arab dating", you mean buying a wife right?

 

[Borachio]

I don't think so no. Most Arabs are just like anyone else really. You've got to go out of your way to find a seriously religious fundamentalist one.

Yeah because that totally isn't racist at all.

The website was offering educated Arabs so go take your Geert Widlers BS somewhere plox

Yeah

I'm like 99% certain he was also at Dutch passport control when I recently travelled there

I'm usually sandboxed when I'm browsing online. And on top of that, I'm usually running adblock and noscript. So, I rarely see ads (other than the pre-video ones). I may trust the site, but that doesn't mean that they haven't accidentally allowed malicious ads.

 

[Chimera Kitty]

It's not the primary reason.
I'm more into half-Asian women anyway. The purebloods are often lacking in the boobs and ass department.

I never cared much about boobs or ass (it's all about the face and the waist), but the half-Asian women have the advantage of not all looking the same

For some weird reason almost every banner on almost every site I've been to today asks me to donate money and 'help defend alan west from george soros' false attacks'.
Don't they know I'm not merican ?
Am I the only one ?

I'm American, I've heard of George Soros but have no idea who he is, and I've never heard of Alan West. This is not an example of "lol clueless Americans", as I stay extremely well-informed on geographic/historical/ideological stuffs.

I don't think so no. Most Arabs are just like anyone else really. You've got to go out of your way to find a seriously religious fundamentalist one.

Indeed, the neared kebab place is at least a half-mile away!
