Do abusive domestic partners, debt collectors, random employees, or angry doxxers have access to targeted advertising interest data? The "harm" you're discussing is hypothetical and extremely unlikely. I'm asking for concrete examples.


Debt collectors are huge data broker clients. (And sellers too - junk debt can go both ways on these markets.) Disgruntled employees leak a fair bit too.
