There is a massive and systematic data breach at the heart of the behavioral advertising industry. This needs to change.

I together with @jimkillock @mikarv worked with @RaviNa1k to file regulatory complaints today under the #GDPR against adtech.

Every single big website in the world is leaking data in a similar way, through "RTB bid requests" for online behavioural advertising #adtech. 2/12

Every time an ad loads on a website, the site sends the visitor's IP address (indicating physical location), the URL they are looking at, and details about their device, to hundreds -often thousands- of companies. Here is a graphic that shows the process. 3/12
