One thing that strikes me as interesting is that Facebook repeatedly states that they do not sell personal information to third parties. Yet, I've never read or heard it stated plainly that this behavior is forbidden by applications running on the Facebook platform. In fact, at one point I remember that friends applications had access to my personal information, even if I did not authorize said application. I dont' know whether that is still the case, but the idea behind it is troubling.
I would also like to follow-up that people are dissimilar enough that de-anonymizing is not that difficult. I do not know why, yet, an advertiser would want to explicitly de-anonymize its data, but it is certainly possible.

- nroman 15y agoI don't think you looked very hard. This is quite plainly stated in the developers policy. You don't have to be a lawyer to understand this: From https://developers.facebook.com/policy/ https://developers.facebook.com/policy/ 6. You will not directly or indirectly transfer any data you receive from us, including user data or Facebook User IDs, to (or use such data in connection with) any ad network, ad exchange, data broker, or other advertising or monetization related toolset, even if a user consents to such transfer or use. By indirectly we mean you cannot, for example, transfer data to a third party who then transfers the data to an ad network. By any data we mean all data obtained through use of the Facebook Platform (API, Social Plugins, etc.), including aggregate, anonymous or derivative data.
