Today we look at two topics that, maybe surprisingly, intersect: charity organizations and online ad tracking.
Ad tracking isn't new—luxury brands used to place their advertisements specifically in newspapers that delivered to high-income zip codes. But today's ad tracking supercharges that match-making game with a complex, opaque machinery that can track what you do online, what websites you visit, what browser you use, and even your gender, religion, and political bias.
