"The companies are tracking your race, education level, TV habits, marital status, net worth. They’re collecting what you post on social media, whether you’re behind on your bills, what you order online."
The only way they can do this and link it to you as an individual is if we have all been lied to about how everything is "anonymized" data being sent between the data brokers and sold to corporations. I've always assumed that the whole narrative about all this data being anonymized was complete and utter bullshit.
