Okay. So my wife and I happen to own stock in a particular company. This company is going through some internal battles that will be settled by a shareholder vote. Lo and behold in both WGT and another app that gives stuff away for viewing videos, I've been targeted for ads by one of the factions.
The company knows my name, address, email, etc. WGT has that info as well. Not pointing fingers as some of the affiliates here, like TrialPay have my email if not the other stuff.
Did the company or the ad company blast a search over the internet to determine that I would be a good candidate to have targetted ads?
Forget Big Brother. Maybe we should be worrying about Bid Ad.
