Any website (which is pretty much all websites) that targets and profiles consumers via ad tech without the user's explicit permission and control is by definition...malware/spyware/adware. It's that simple, it's no longer debatable. Ad tech's days are numbered (wishful thinking?), they've done it to themselves. It would be nice if GOG allowed users to disallow any social media tags within the Galaxy client.
If ad tech is so wonderful, why in the world is everyone using ad blockers, tracker blockers, disabling 3rd party cookies...etc., etc. etc. So in a sense, the entire internet in it's present state is...mallicious, since pretty much every website uses ad tech.
Websites need to returrn to traditional, context based, advertising or suffer the consequences. Ad tech is a grotesque violation of privacy, security, individual sovereignty, liberty and civil rights! There is NO online security without online privacy!
