To be fair, it's somewhat more justified for dating.
Doing creepy psychological profiling to sell me ads for a few extra shekels? Very dodgy.
Doing creepy psychological profiling to find matches with traits neither party would otherwise voluntarily disclose on a public profile? I mean, yeah, sure.
It's not the case that people are concerned over Facebook having their innermost desires stored on some server somewhere, although they like to pretend so. The issue is more along the lines of whether natural persons they interact with IRL see them - this is why people are OK with using Tinder and Facebook messenger, but not with having private conversations over Twitter.
Of course, they'll use the profiling for both. But the end user arguably extracts more of the value than they do from getting sold more relevant ads.

- Konnstann 7y agoshekels is more fun to say than dollars, that's why I use it. Currency is interchangeable, so why not?
- chrisseaton 7y ago> so why not? Because there's a slur going back millennia against the Jewish people persecuting them as conspiring money-grabbers, and Zuckerberg has Jewish heritage and you were accusing him of being a conspiring money-grabber.
- heartbeats 7y agoIt's a common slang term, just like how you'd say 'quid' or 'bucks'.
- atlasunshrugged 7y agoHe could just be Israeli... couldn't you say if he used dollars that he was being anti-American? The whole world doesn't use dollars.
- pinkfoot 7y agoNo, don't be daft.
- hfdh434535 7y agoI think the other replies are correct, and this is nothing to be alarmed about. But I don't think you should be downvoted just for asking. Nazis are using new dogwhistles all the time, and infiltrating forums like HN. I don't blame you for having your guard up.
