Good breakdown on this in arstechnica:

https://arstechnica.com/?p=1991469

In a statement emailed to Ars Technica, Cox Media Group said that its advertising tools include "third-party vendor products powered by data sets sourced from users by various social media and other applications then packaged and resold to data servicers." The statement continues:

Advertising data based on voice and other data is collected by these platforms and devices under the terms and conditions provided by those apps and accepted by their users, and can then be sold to third-party companies and converted into anonymized information for advertisers. This anonymized data then is resold by numerous advertising companies.

The company added that it does not "listen to any conversations or have access to anything beyond a third-party aggregated, anonymized and fully encrypted data set that can be used for ad placement" and "regret[s] any confusion."

Big corporations doing shady shit fucking over (or buying out) small companies trying to fix the shady shit to make the lives of the customers of said big business a bit easier.

Not sure what to say. Seems like the standard nowadays.

Would you look at that, nice.

Sure, but you could have a setting which allows sexualised content to be accessed or showed. Or just a popup when entering the stream like it already does with mature streams or whatever they're called. You can have the streams only visible to people logged in, have people put their age on the account when making it (not sure if already a thing) and not show this stuff to people under 18. Yes you can just say you're 18 but in that case the kids do it deliberately and won't just stumble upon it. Have the parents do an underage account for them. Lots of options, and yes, the parents do have responsibility as well.

Oh no, almost visible tits!? Nono we can't have that, it'll morally bankrupt our audience.

Edit: apparently they're more lenient as long as it is properly tagged. Nice.

Yeah I guess "transitioning away from fossil fuels" isn't really that strong of a wording. Alsl "just" and "orderly" can be interpreted as "what is just for the country's economy" and "not too fast".

Not really. Walls get destroyed easily, you still need a moat to keep trolls away.

Raids are fun but the need of moats is kinda annoying. I'd rather have more difficult raids but without raids destroying my BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS GOD DAMMIT.

Hmm I wonder if there is a mod to make moat building easier. Or just nuke troll raids, that exists I'm sure.

What compromise are you talking about? Wasn't this exactly what was the goal for majority of the countries, to get coal etc phased out? The previous UAE suggested deal did not include that.

"No employee ever wakes up and says, 'I'm so excited. I made another penny a share today for Panera's shareholders,'" Shaich told Business Insider in an interview. "Nobody cares. You don't care whether your CEO comes or goes."

In case people read the title and not the article.

Valheim.

Great and fun combat, mod support, multiplayer, good building mechanics, doesn't feel frustrating to play.

Very common. Advertisers already know everyone you come in contact with, or ar least those whom you spend time with. They will use that info to push ads to the group, or to the relevant people of that group.

It's Christmas time, you browse moccasins store for 10min, obviously you're interested in them. Why wouldn't advertisers show that item to your gf? That's like the perfect ad for her.
