Poll: targeted advertisements

I have complained about this before. I think there's a whole thread on it.

Of course, the method of payment was left unspecified.

Reviving this topic as I found an article published this past week on how to block at least some of the ad information harvesting that goes on in your phone, in case it's useful to some: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2015/03/07/secret-your-cellphone-company-doesnt-want-to-know/?intcmp=trending
First three paragraphs excerpt:
Recently, AT&T surprised everyone when it added a new option to its GigaPower fiber Internet service: privacy. Yes, for just $29 more a month, AT&T promises it WON'T sell your search and browsing history to advertisers. How generous.
While there's still some doubt about how private your information is even after you pay the $29, at least AT&T is being honest about how it finances operations. The truth is, the major cellphone carriers are more than happy to sell your information to advertisers and serve you targeted ads over their networks.
I'm going to tell you how to stop them, and at the end I'll discuss other ways carriers and advertisers are working to get your information.

FTFY. Otherwise, you just admitted to a felony. :)
