Are they not storing enormous quantities of people's data in the cloud?

  It doesn't sell those [edit: cloud] services to others.

    Isn't that their core service?
    • ink_13 7y ago
      No, their core service is selling ads. You can't actually buy anyone's data from Facebook, you can only buy ad targeting.
      • numlock86 7y ago
        Oh, okay. I was just confused because whenever I read something about Facebook it was about them selling everyone's data.
  • drannex 7y ago
    That's their core service, they sell your data through targeted means. That is still selling your data.

      The only reason anyone would ever call targeted ads "selling your data" is to make people who don't fully understand it believe it's scary. Completely misrepresenting what they are doing. How about we, as a collective, say it for what it is instead of using words that mean something completely different and let people come to their own opinions instead of thinking for them? As bad as a news outlet.
