> This isn't a market that needs to be powered. This is a market that needs to be shut down. Targeted advertising is inherently harmful to society.

That's an opinion. That's the whole comment that the person you're replying to said was an opinion. And it is.

> ...in an attempt to discredit my statements.

Nope. He wasn't even talking to you or about your statements.

You tried to do the same thing to me that you're trying to doing here, in another thread. You said that people "repeatedly" told me something when I actually just had made one comment in the thread at that point.

What's your deal?




In that thread about Windows 10 I actually mistook you for someone else that was saying something "repeatedly" when in fact you just said something once. Sorry... :)

In this thread eclipxe seems to be talking about my statements, since they replied to me saying "This is your opinion". Or maybe they also got confused and thought I was the person they were originally talking to.

In any case, I do think eclipxe is incorrect, because the statement which he said is an opinion is that "targeted advertising is harmful to society" and then they counter by saying that "advertising has its place in society". Targeted advertising is a totally different thing from mere advertising, and I've shown that one of the biggest companies doing targeted advertising has been repeatedly investigated and fined for their practices.

These fines are given for things which are harmful to society, QED.


Thanks for the explanation.

Good luck on your mission!
