No it's not. No. This place is the fox news for the left and privacy crazies. You people have done more harm to privacy with your boy who cried wolf bullshit than anybody else. Constant misrepresentation, baseless claims, and constant red flags which have eroded any credibility there message had left.

one of the test participants, who talked repeatedly about Volvo, did report that they were bombarded by advertising for the brand. This person did not even own a car, nor had they searched the Internet to buy a Volvo or any other kind of car.

You know, I used to be very skeptical about this whole thing, like you are. But this is not the first report of this type I see, and I'm not so sure about it being a coincidence anymore
