In the service, of course, of presenting us with better ads that we're more likely to click on, which keeps the money rolling in for the services themselves, letting the wheel of commerce keeps spinning on, uninterrupted. https://bgr.com/2021/03/16/ad-targeting-t-mobile-verizon-att-tracking-customers/
