Obviously not, but the point was snide humor. Do you really not believe there are private companies which sell personal data?

- jp555 6y agoSure, CC companies have been doing it since the 1950s. But only aggregate data has any value. Advertisers care a lot more about finding a large group of potential buyers than individuals. Something like the more data you have the less detail you know, because noise expands faster than signal.
- klmadfejno 6y agoIf you're implying that advertisers only want aggregate data to build a marketing strategy that requires leveraging the individualized data from ad platform holders like facebook, that feels like some serious cognizant dissonance about the meaning of privacy.
