Oh they have much more than this.
Messenger asks nicely to upload your whole address book, and since half your college buddies clicked yes they know when and where you studied, and who you knew, and your parents landline thus some idea of their location (and how wealthy it is). Ditto your colleagues at each place you worked, who all still have your old corporate email, and some have newer info...
And that's before anyone posts anything on facebook.
- tjoff 9y agoAnd yet they can't show even a semi-related ad if their entire existence counted on it. They have the data, yes. But they will ruin society before having any idea on how to use it. Most importantly. They can not correlate that with my IP or my browsing history. So that information is beyond useless when trying to track me and only slightly useful for researching the society in which I grew up (which facebook isn't interested in anyway).
- improbable22 9y agoThis is also true. I don't see how they're making money off their extensive knowledge about me. When I make the mistake of buying something online in a browser logged into facebook, then I get adds for a week trying to sell me what I just bought... this does not lead to me buying another one! And all this strategy seems to need is basic cookies, not a shadow profile.
