This reminds me of that facial recognition shopping scene in Minority Report [this video] Of course I thought this movie looked 100 years in the future, not 15

It doesn't call out advertisers directly but it does call out the Minority Report style ad serving. IANAL but sec. A: defines FRT as "comparing the facial features of a probe image with the features of images contained in an image repository (one-to-many search)." "Private Entity shall not use Face Recognition Technologies in Places of Public Accommodation" "John Anderton, you could use a Guinness right now!" style targeted advertising requires matching features of the face (eyes) to a repository to get the name.
