#2> Last April, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators sent a letter to Google and other major ad technology companies warning of the national security implications of data shared as part of the digital ad buying process. They said this user data “would be a goldmine for foreign intelligence services that could exploit it to inform and supercharge hacking, blackmail, and influence campaigns.”
The US (or insert ) for sure has more information on US citizens so Russia can’t compete with them when it comes to influence.

#3HN is flooded by "archive.ph" campaign which injects Russian (and other) tracking scripts to copies of crawled 3rd party sites and requires JS to load on Firefox/Linux (and some other browsers) while pretending to be "archiving".

Apologies but at the moment I'm on Firefox on Linux and can't see anything past a page pretending to look like Cloudflare's but with Google's recaptcha.

Simply go to archive.ph and look at a website you get google.com (on front page only), buysellads.net (based in US from a quick search), mail.ru (this one Russian obviously). At least that's what I see on a couple of tries.

#8Is this really a complaint that a single, well-established Russian ad company got the same information from Google that they would give to any US company with an email address?
This is part of the cognitive dissonance that insists that Russia has the most effective intelligence services in the world, that can manipulate elections at will and subsume every US social movement to spread its propaganda, but is too stupid and helpless to create a US front company.

So your argument is that companies and people should not follow the law or do what’s right because people can circumvent their efforts?!
