And promise that they would forbid the kind of algorithms used on FB? That this kind of targeted marketing where you are only fed information along with those ads, that the algorithm thinks you want to see. And so can be manipulated by outside forces? Yes they may not make as much money with targeted ads, but how much do they need to earn? If a company was okay with only making millions instead of billions, but had more stability and security and so gained popularity that way, why not?
