When you explain how adtech tracking works, with examples to organisaions that have a moral and regulatory need to protect privacy, in some of the most sensitive situations, it is possible to get them to remove ad tech without too much effort.<p>This has been a mixed success as a privacy complaint and I hope the regulator (ICO) steps in to make sure similar organisations remove ad tracking where there are vulnerable users.<p>Childline was copied in many countries, you might want to check your national online service.
