Yeah, because everyone is asking for that. They will force ads into everything they can, because Google is an Ad company.

    I don’t know about Roku but Google doesn’t sell data, just ads. You can’t go to Google and buy data about users.

      They “sell” it in the sense that, as a marketer, you buy the ability to target behavioral and demographic cohort of users. You’re not actually buying a database of names and numbers.

        Right, so the “sell” it in the sense that they don’t sell it. I get the same response every time. I don’t understand why people think it’s ok to just lie, and then when they’re called out try to argue that lying is fine you said something that feels true.
