@Jeremiah >It’s reasonable for a business to know if their ad worked.
No, businesses do not deserve to know if an ad worked.

In my opinion, businesses should be forbidden from performing any form of invasive advertising on pain of death.

A business website and a sign on a storefront are examples of non-invasive advertising, as that doesn't trick people into looking at garbage, or worse even to distract them as they're operating a 1+ tonne death machine (a vehicle).

If a business is legitimate and offers a legitimate product or service, they will have no problem finding customers - pleased customers will recommend them to others and people will also find them via the storefront sign and the website.


Governments could deal with the problem with spying in the internet by revoking business licenses of those who spy, but of course not, instead they actually help such businesses spy.
