"Facebook isn’t giving any advertisers information about users" So there's no evidence for the inflammatory headline here.

  Of course they do. I mean, they don't package it up and send it in a spreadsheet. But when a company makes an ad, they can target it to users who meet certain criteria. So whenever a user clicks an ad, the advertiser knows they fit that criteria. They can know your gender, age, what city you live near, how much money you make, etc.

    But you needed to click on the ad

      Will there be a comment under the Ad saying: "By clicking this advert you will be informing company x that you recently visited the URL y" No? Then they're collecting and selling that information on without your knowledge and without your permission. Will there also be a notice and button under the advert so you can permanently and fully delete your browser history and tell Facebook to not collect it in future? No?
