I'm trying to find an article I read several years ago about (6?) major databases, that when combined could perfectly describe any one of us. Not what the government has done, just ahead of the curve.

(75,480 posts)are targeted, but I discovered that words we use in posts will trigger the ads. For instance if you reference Game of Thrones you get all kinds of ads for dragon and fantasy games.
