Selling is probably the correct word... as in "They are selling the information like facebook sold user's private messages."

- chrischen 7y agoIt says so in the article. Those companies actually pay Sift to do fraud detection. So no, not selling.

- SilasX 7y agoMy focus was on them transferring it to third parties, regardless of any accompanying money flows, so sell vs share doesn't matter to me. Since I didn't provide the relevant context in my last post, here's the quote from the article: >As of this summer, though, Sift does have a file on you, which it can produce upon request. I got mine, and I found it shocking: More than 400 pages long, it contained all the messages I’d ever sent to hosts on Airbnb; years of Yelp delivery orders; a log of every time I’d opened the Coinbase app on my iPhone. Many entries included detailed information about the device I used to do these things, including my IP address at the time.
