The article I mentioned wasn’t targeting her for prescription pharmaceuticals.
I specifically think that if there is a prescription pharmaceutical add it should not be algorithmically given to you.

stephen01king@lemmy.zip 4 months agoAre we sure we can call that targeted pharmaceutical advertisement? It sounds like it could just be the algorithm accidentally discovering a correlation between expecting mothers and preference for unscented hand creams and such.
Unless Amazon did specifically program that in, I think these accidental correlation is not something you can control before it happens and trying to regulate them would be a waste of time and resources.

Of course, we could just ban ad tracking entirely and solve the problem in an instant.

Yes, that one I agree with.
