> you don’t consider those to be “intimate details of their lives”? I consider all of those to be intimate details of their lives. I cannot purchase that information from Facebook. What makes this more confusing and frustrating is that there are companies that do sell user data to Facebook. Not in the handwave-y, roundabout way people that OP describes, but in the standard "I give you $$$, you give me transaction data" way.
