It's the "if everyone did this..." rule. I play my own part in this massive economy that exists of selling data to be used in Facebook ads (Google and other big tech companies do it, too). To me, it's the number one most dangerous thing that has happened to the web. It's my belief that you can make a direct tie from this type of advertising to the layoffs of journalists. That's a more complicated argument than I have time and space for here, but that's why it's an important issue to me -- I think it's a problem for democracy. Edit: I also tell people I do this to spread the word about the practice and FB's failure to provide proper privacy tools -- in person, but also in forums like I did here.
