On: A Woman Hid Her Pregnancy from Big Data (2014)

So the fact there are similar stories, but just not the kind of stories I describe ( pregnancy, somebody else finding out ), make you conclude it must be obvious ?

I don't get the logic.

I didn't say "obvious" and asked if you see the similarity.

Do you or don't you, why or why not? That's the discussion.

I do see a bit of similarity, however the Target case includes presenting these ads to someone else, a component your anecdata misses.

But I don't see the logic. If you are not claiming it must be true, what are you claiming?
