i read the article and it didn't seem to state. how will they target me? using the personal info I'm required to give them to book my flight? the origin and destinations and seat location? these are entirely different kinds of metrics. one is far more invasive. and is it tying into larger models they've purchased from like google or something? this is stupid and i hate it.
Until proven otherwise, I'd assume the worst. They know your identity to travel, and they link it with profiles from all the major ad networks.

Nothing that some Self Adhesive Vinyl can't fix. They'll have to deal with getting it off the screen afterwards too. Want to fine me for it? Then tell me where you got the data, because I didn't consent to you having my data.
Calling into United:
Hey I see you charged me $400 for a replacement screen? Tell me, where did you buy the targeted ad data you used to display ads on that screen? Oh, an agency that I signed terms and conditions for at some point? Shit, alright then.
I mean, fuck United tho and they will not be getting and damn money from me.

Time for me to whip out my trusty old Black Sheet'o'Paper and masking tape....
Can you turn the screens off? I haven't flown in 5 years, but I just watched stuff off of my tablet instead.
You can, but I've stopped ever using them because the screen completely stops for every. Single. Announcement.
And now you can have your phone out for take off and landings, so yea no thanks I'll stick with my device that keeps working when they're making some random announcement about drinks or some shit

It is a matter of time before they figure out how to do targeted ads in dreams.

I wonder how long it will be before they start giving discounts on tickets for interacting with the ads a certain number of times during the flight.
Never. The whole ad craze is there to milk profits on top of the things you already paid for.
What you are suggesting would actually be a more fair system.
Free with ads or paid with no ads.
Asshole corporations want paid and ads.
The Ad Algorithm
It knows when you are sleeping It knows when you're awake It knows when you've been bad or good So consume for goodness sake
Fuck this.
