Brave is basically arguing that third party marketing-distribution networks which use personally identifiable information to target ads are bad.

I think it's pretty reasonable to suggest that exposing that they do so via a third party marketing distribution network which uses personally identifiable information to target ads may have been a misstep without arguing that means they can't advertise at all

Particularly when the "but we don't see the personally identifiable information that the third party we paid used to advertise to you" applies to everyone paying Facebook or Google to show ads too...

But in this case there's no targeting involved? They just told the "third party marketing-distribution network" to send ads to every household within a given zip code.
