Is “the media” stalking every person they can with an established history of misusing that information and selling it and access to those people to hostiles? No. The two are not the same.
Edit-We’re going through a period of media outlets and whole media segments going bankrupt and out of business. Meanwhile FB is the F in FAANG stocks-amongst the most valuable companies on the earth.
- murbard2 6y agoAre advertisement cookies now considered "stalking"? The news media does engage in _actual_ stalking for stories. And no, Facebook doesn't actually sell user data, no matter how much their competitors like to repeat it. Facebook revenues are EUR 70 B / year, tax receipts in the European Union (EU-28) are around EUR 6,000 B / year. Facebook is a gnat, but the press somehow manages to convince people that the former is a larger threat than the latter because it's not elected.
