It was sent to 324 North Street…oh… You live on 325 North Street? No worries, your name is printed in large so whoever received it knows that is was for you and will probably deliver it to you…”
Interest based ads that everyone who has connected to the same wifi as you will now see. And it’s not just interest based ads. They will use this to calculate your whole personality and manipulate you and others based on that.

PiHole ftw
All hail Pi-hole
