Ad targeting != Selling personal data. This is a misleading, linkbait title.

  They're selling your personal check-in data to retargeters, which is fine if the TOS specifically stated that they're doing this, but it doesn't.

    > They're selling your personal check-in data to retargeters There's no evidence that that's happening.

      According to Foursquare's pitch deck, that's exactly what they plan to do.

        Cite it, then. I went through the slide deck. It talks about aggregating and selling "retargeting personas" based on check-in markers (e.g. "checked in once at a resort in the last year"), but nothing about selling your personal check-in data. I think you're reading what you want into this.
