A spreadsheet on ad platform Xandr’s website revealed a massive collection of “audience segments” used to target consumers based on highly specific, sometimes intimate information and inferences.
Not posting an archive story because this is an interactive data story and can’t be fully captured any of the archivers.
Some of these “segments” are concerning. “Bottled Up Stress”, “Finacially Struggling Senior”, “Reliant on Credit”
Might as well create a segment for “Easy marks for conmen”
Yep! They even have segments like “Concerned with self-image”. Really fucked up stuff…
