So ad-personalization is bad because?

I would much rather see personalized and relevant advertising then random garbage.

I would rather not be stalked and have all my personal and private information available to people trying to sell me crap I don't want or need.

I'd rather see no advertisements.

No offense, but without advertisement, then how does Google pay the bills? It's one thing to not want to be stalked, it's another thing to use a free product and complain about the company making money from even showing adds on the side of the page....

"I would rather not be stalked and have all my personal and private information available to people trying to sell me crap I don't want or need."

I don't mind the ads much; sometimes (albeit not very often) they are actually useful.

What I mind is the idea that the same data could or would be used for more nefarious reasons, such as determining credit worthiness or "bad citizen" behavior.
