Yeah, targeted ads are a thing for long time now. How do you think my bank adds pops up on reddit? Banks, Visa / Mastercard are selling your data to whoever so they can make more money so I’d rather have my Government have this data rather than private companies

Of course they know, they owe the payment network, why wouldn’t they know how you use their gear?

Not directly a European government but the US government has a lot of control over Visa/Mastercard.
