They shouldn’t be allowed to use things you’re curious about to target you. That’s abusive. So given that, they’d just have to show generic ads.

I'm not sure I fully agree that they shouldn't be allowed to use the active search query for picking ads, if that's what you're implying by "curious about". AFAIK that's the main (exclusive?) signal for Google's SERP ads.

  • Well, everyone thinks their pet advertising should be exempt from privacy protection so that's unsurprising.
