- codedokode 2y agoNot everyone's but only of those who uploaded them.
- dylan604 2y agoNope. If someone uploaded a picture with you in it and tagged your name, they have you too.
- 121789 2y agoThey don’t sell data, they just collect it to target relevant ads. If you can find an instance of them (or Google) actually selling data to brokers, please share

The lawsuit claimed that Facebook repeatedly captured and commercialized biometric data in photos and videos for over a decade without informed consent, sharing the data with third parties and failing to destroy it in a reasonable timeframe. The state alleged that Facebook’s actions put Texans’ well-being, safety, and security at risk, and sought damages of “billions of dollars.” In 2024, Meta agreed to a $1.4 billion settlement in the biometric data lawsuit, related to the unauthorized use of personal biometric data from uploaded photos and videos on Facebook.
- monetus 2y agoKen Paxton can't be taken seriously, nor can allegations he makes sadly. It doesn't make financial sense to sell the data itself and undermine their ad business; I wonder what that suit and settlement were about.
- acchow 2y agoMeta and Google want to retain their data moat to maximize their ad premiums over competitors. They really do not want to sell any data.
- Retric 2y agoGoogle is handing real time location data, browsing histories, etc to 3rd parties while not technically selling it.
