I mean there are good reasons to oppose as such (including online) but, if one acknowledges that ads play at least some legitimate role in financing online services, isn't Mozilla's proposal a good attempt in building a system? If not, why (real question)?

There has already been some media coverage of 's decision to limit ad based on sensitive personal data and comply with the instead.

Most failed to mention that this was based on a joint complaint filed by @edri, @Freiheitsrechte, @bitsoffreedom and @globalwitness, so I took the liberty to write down the inside story for you :)

European Digital Rights (EDRi)Privacy win: LinkedIn limits ad targeting after EDRi complaint - European Digital Rights (EDRi)LinkedIn gave in to pressure from civil society and Digital Services Act (DSA) enforcers based on a complaint by EDRi and three partner organisations. The platform will no longer allow advertisers to target ads based on sensitive personal data from users. That’s a big win for privacy and the DSA, but it also exposes one of the DSA’s more hidden weaknesses.
