The information Facebook collects on you isn’t for sale.
And even if was, that stuff is basically data exhaust that is collected from usage of a platform they own. By using the platform you have made the choice to give up some of this data all on your own. But that’s not what they do. Their product is selling ad space.
You yourself are still not being sold.
- badrabbit 9y agoThe ad space is worth exactly $0 without targeting. It wouldn't pay for day to day ops let along make a profit. The advertisers are the consumers and the ability to target the consumer is the product. Look at it this way, an actor or a singer sells himself when he works,the entertainment industry sells actors to consumers. In the same way facebook and google sell their users to advertisers.
