We^W They may have shitloads of data, but I'm very skeptical we^W they can use this data in any meaningful way. At least, for now.
I don't know what's wrong but despite all that data giant AD companies are supposed to have, I never ever saw any relevant ads, even when I've specifically wanted to see one. Unless I've already bought something - then, sure thing, I'm spammed with more of the same (which is, again absolutely useless - I've already made a purchase).
> We don't need a passport or state-issued ID to determine if someone is a real user.
I don't think we are even capable to come to a consensus what does this mean - to be a "real user".
Am I? What about my alter ego, posting about something I don't feel like publicly associating with (like, porn)? What about a whistle-blowing throwaway account I may create if I learn something fishy? Or what about a "thoughts are my own but went through editorial" corporate representative persona account? And that's just the obvious cases.
