I chose this article because it touched on both the use of a mobile for surfing the Internet and the targeting of users of particular websites. With us talking about Web 3.0 I got to thinking about how we use our mobile phones so often and how that must be a huge target audience. There are tons of shady advertisers that have redirecting ads that take you to a completely different page when you click certain links. It went away for a while, but it seems to be coming back.
Social media sites gain revenue from allowing advertisements on their platforms, so, of course, fraud accounts and advertisements will be used more. With the worry of scams and social media security on the rise, I wonder if social media sites will be faced with governmental regulations of what they can allow. With Web 3.0, there will be more monitoring by the wealthier companies, so this could lead to further monitoring at a higher level than just from person to person on their private profiles and devices.
