That's not what the article is about. It points out that passwords for random folks aren't really worth much, and are probably out there on the dark web for purchase anyway, but the idea that psychographic profiles could be build

The implication is that comments on public posts could be scraped by a third party to build an off-FB psychographic profile, similar to how Cambridge Analytica tried to generate profiles for users by querying data through a third party Face
