Don't you want to hear your different lawyer options, STD check options, gun options, alcohol help, etc?
Or rather, would you rather have useful advertisement or spammy advertisement?
I still could not relate that those would be bad. The only thing I can imagine is blackmail. Which is cultural and not moral.

I believe the ad tech industry does not protect medical and political data with the appropriate level of privacy protection. So even if they wouldn't sell their database of gay Iranians to Iran, I think they'd get hacked by them.
And I believe some companies probably would sell their gun ownership database to a government that wanted to arrest gun owners, and their gay bar customer database to a government that wanted to arrest gay people.

The hacked thing is about as scary as it gets, but companies need to keep customers happy.
Btw, ad block is not a solution. Short sighted to mention that.
