Access to users is the product, not the users themselves IMHO.

Access to users is the product, not the users themselves IMHO.
- icebraining 8y agoWhat's the difference in practice?
- themacguffinman 8y agoThe difference in practice is mostly in security: neither advertisers or publishers on Google or Facebook actually possess your data, so it can't be leaked by breaching any of those companies. You'd have to breach Google or Facebook themselves.
- lotu 8y agoIt also means advertisers can’t miss appropriate your data (this could be part of the security thing). So I can’t say I want to know what themaguffinman’s been searching and google will send me a list of his searches for $50. When people say selling your data that’s the image I get even though it is compleatlly in accurate.
