You’re gonna lose your mind when you hear about the census office. This last census also mandated you disclose your sexual preferences and gender identity. They have a list of black and brown people, LGBTQ+ people, and trans people. 😬
Google doesn’t sell their private data collection. They use it to target ads so it’s the most valuable thing they have (or as they would call it their “unfair advantage”), so selling it directly is out of question. There are multiple data brokers that also have very comprehensive lists that will happily sell it to anyone.
What’s really scary about this is that someone apparently has a list of black people
Now wait until you hear what happened with 23andMe.

And I’m both amazed and quite worried that nothing has come of it yet.

Seriously? You’re going to conflate government census data with a hate list?
That data in the wrong hands…
Is that sarcasm or does it really need to be explained to you how a tyrannical government would use that data for hate?
Not that hard to buy people’s data these days.
Google has that list, and it’s for sale. Regardless if you tell them, they know.

They sell the targeting, from there it’s simple for the advertisers to compile the list with the tracking cookies left behind.
