That's a good point, and the distinction is subtle. I think it lies in using "their data" to describe both what pages they choose to look at, and what ads Facebook decides to show them. These two types of data should really be treated separately.
Of course, one could argue that Facebook has a right to communicate with their users confidentially. But it's a bit of a stretch to treat ads as private communication.
- pbalau 6y agoThe ad itself is not private information. The fact that I match the targeting for said ad, is.
- Xylakant 6y agoWhat needs to be published is not that you match the targeting. The information that needs publishing is „who is targeting which ad with what criteria.“ That is: The advertiser, The ad, the targeting given. None of this contains private information and it‘s equivalent to what‘s known about ads in a newspaper.
