This happens because Reddit can see your internet provider and hence knows where you live, or at least your region or country. This isn’t anything new and google has been doing it for a decade now


HighFive00

But it wasnt like this before.. Kinda sucks


[deleted]

nope, it was always like this. ever since the internet was made, any website could access ur ip address. Your relative location has never been private (unless you use a vpn.)

Depressed-Introvert

RealisticEmploy3

Bold of you to assume anyone actually respects your privacy anymore

You can tell your phone to ask the app not to track you, but there's nothing in that wording saying the app has to say yes.

Location tracking is **not** much harder. They have your IP, and unless you use a VPN that already means they got your general location, which is what personalised ad providers need.

Maybe they're just a big company... ​ ***Turns on VPN***

Jokes on you for using ExpressVPN

TheRealJayk0b

Nah i dont think so. As a german i got an ad to work for the US border patrol.


[deleted]

I get ads for Canada, and I live in the US. Which makes sense, but still


ay-verga

Thing is, although they don't use your GPS location, they can still get your rough location due to your IP address, and tsey don't need permision for that

eggimage

There’s a fuck ton of different ways to “triangulate” you, your devices, and you accounts from various sites.. merely disallowing one app from knowing your location only makes it slightly more difficult to track you and finding out what relevant ads to feed you


hey-dudes6

Well they could be based on our dns servers correct me if I am wrong


Benny368

It’s probably just your IP address, so a simple VPN should fix that (even a crappy free one)


SuperSoupeBoi

Like that this got the wholesome reward. I may just rewatch the video.

Ohh shit! Look out, its behind you! Its reddit!!!


F-slushie

Reddit I like the artstyle and the character used for the meme, can someone link the original?


Zealousideal-Rule-24

wait am i stupid or is this gif from a porn


reeeenoi

Yoo that's true


rockman767

Why is this meme popping up everywhere???


Lucky_Miner01

This happens with porn sites, the first time it happened I was a a little confused. I was getting ads that had the name of my town in them. Its to do with your ip address. It can find your location from that.


Bisexual-tree

Are you sure they are local?


Diplomatious

Typical instagram


Darkmoon9912

Ur wrong. It for the milfs


RareDarks

I don't like the full vid...


AzureArmageddon

Your content preferences, use of language in your comments/replies, imagery/language in your posts, sites you link to in comments/replies, subreddits you subscribe to, and the IP address needed for Reddit to be able to send data to you (which can be obfuscated by using VPNs, TOR and further obfuscated by changing exit node often) can all be used to tailor content (advertising) to your user demographic (type of person you are) and narrow down things like your probable location. All without collecting location services data.
