    Not to defend Meta, but monetizing doesn’t imply selling. Factories monetize their equipment, for example, but they don’t sell it if they want to stay in business.

      My guy, what do you think an ad network uses people’s data for? This is not even a hypothetical situation. They will absolutely sell anything they can to some dogshit corporation, for targeted adverts

        Targeting ads. Not selling the data you use to target ads, because that would be fucking stupid.
