Are Facebook and Google opening bank accounts with people's identities or stealing from their paypal accounts? Not sure what point you're making here.

- nottorp 3y agoI'm in an area of the world where that doesnt quite work so I just thought of entities trading your personal information for marketing profit...
- anigbrowl 3y agoNo, they and other large vendors are just selling data that enables that. The fraudsters couldn't work without the industrial torrent of personal data that is an object of avid commerce. It weirds me out any time I open YouTube on the TV and the first thing I see is an ad related to some recent online purchase, however obscure.
