Nah. I would hate to live in a country that bans personalized ads. It would be like living in the 90s watching cable TV seeing completely irrelevant tampon and baby ads as a single dude.

Personalized ads are much less annoying than the "spray-and-pray" noise we used to deal with.

It's so much better having your phone listen to you when you talking about holidays and showing you airplane tickets for months to come
