I clicked a link to a news story on Africa News [0] and was shocked to see a pop-up telling me that they'd like to share my data with 797 "partners". That's a huge number to my eyes. Can any "insiders" share the economics of so many data brokers on a single site? Do they pay the site owners for the data? What about buying/selling/coordinating that data to one another? Who are the largest customers of the data brokers' "services"?<p>[0] https://www.africanews.com/
It is interesting that no one responded. These falls under AdTech and AdOps. There are some people here who can provide insight. I'm not one of them, but I would like to know more too, and would love to see a primer.
