Yahoo lets mobile users opt out of targeted ads
Yahoo has enhanced its ad targeting system — “interest-based advertising” in the company’s lingo — so that users can opt out of the targeting from their cellphones. In addition, users who opt out on their computers will automatically be opted out on their phones. Yahoo’s mobile interface is Web-based, so no apps are required.
A post on the company’s policy blog explains the enhancement.
