Comment on Ask HN: Why does Google think I got assaulted recently?

Comments

Think of the varying reasons why people use incognito mode.

The advertisers have chosen to show the advert to this group of people. I can forsee incognito mode users being targeted more and more for any adverts relating to personal security, cyber bullying and as - in this case personal attacks.

While people think incognito mode makes you anonymous it actually puts you in a sub group of people who are admitting they are highly aware of personal and online safety. The adverts shown will become more aimed at this.
