Something most Americans desire, something big tech and social media detest. Any vote against more privacy protections is a vote bought and paid for by billionaires and that’s the real DC swamp doing it’s business as usual.
Advertising is a core funding model for a lot of businesses. There is the legitimate the argument that upending it now could lead to the collapse of a lot of the tech sector. While I do believe we never should have gotten here in the first place, we should be cautious and methodical when unwinding it. We don’t want a recession, and we need US businesses to be able to compete on the global stage.
Perhaps I just did a bad job of explaining my position; I agree. I just think it’s worth considering the unintended consequences of a rug pull. Maybe we need to wean the industry off slowly or something else entirely. etc. all I was getting at was that caution doesn’t immediately mean someone is bought and paid for by industry lobbies. There is nuance here.

Bro we can advertise without breaching of privacy.

Imagine this exact comment, but for advertising cigarettes to children.
If a business depends on doing harm to people to create ever-increasing shareholder value, that business deserves to burn.
If they need to buy/sell all our personal information so they can advertise, and they need to do that to survive, I’d say let them go bankrupt.
Also, what is proposed is very reasonable, this won’t cause a recession.
