That is the complete opposite of their business model. You are the product. They sell you. That’s always been the plan.


Exactly. This is why these platforms are worth so much money and it is not just Facebook. Yahoo, Youtube, Google, and the rest all data mine your online activities so they can target ads to you.

You either accept this when you use the product or you do not use them. Facebook will even adjust your preferences for you (to their benefit) if you do not pay attention as do the others.

Script block, Adblock and a private browser protect your anonimity to website data mining. The NSA? Not so much.
