Google claims this new API addresses FLoC’s serious privacy issues. Unfortunately, it does anything but. The Topics API only touches the smallest, most minor privacy issues in FLoC, while leaving its core intact. At issue is Google’s insistence on sharing information about people’s interests and behaviors with advertisers, trackers, and others on the Web that are hostile to privacy.

Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

A spec to optimize ad targeting (respectful of privacy, they say... 😂🤣).
Fuck you Google with your dystopian API:
```js // document.browsingTopics() returns an array of BrowsingTopic objects. const topics = await document.browsingTopics();
// Get data for an ad creative. const response = await fetch('https://ads.example/get-creative', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, body: JSON.stringify(topics) });
// Get the JSON from the response. const creative = await response.json();
// Display the ad. (or not) ```
