This sounds to be like typical FB weasel-wording. "We don't" as in "we don't currently"? Which is not the same as "We won't." But even if this statement lacked ambiguity does anybody believe anything FB says at this point?
We already know that FB purchases "offline" third-party data from data brokers[1], so why else would an advertising company buy even more data from if not to make more money from advertising?
