Sure, but if Facebook is profit hungry I'd say they will probably cash in on their competitors' voluntary withdrawal until such regulations are put in place.
Yeah. The reason I am being noncommittal is because I am unsure of what other companies like reddit are doing.
True. Seems like they are eager to cash in over there too, but do they have the same targeting capabilities as Facebook? I would think they'd play to their strength -- simulating grassroots support and widespread consensus.
I don't know. I would think that any company operating on the internet can trace your identity based upon mac addresses, time of logging on, duration of surfing the internet, etc. So, theoretically any company can microtarget ads (whether political or not).
