    If anything the result of this is more ads than less

      You’re absolutely right, that was her initial argument; but it’s the Unruh Act invocation that makes this interesting, as well as the protected classes being negatively affected by the algorithm.

      Net effect? I’d go with “Less ads in the long run” for $200. But I’ll still cross my fingers.
