Both are true. Just because they have prism doesn’t exclude them from buying our data from data brokers
Apparently you are not a good security expert

Apparently you can't read. Literally nowhere does it say that FB/G sell to data brokers like Neustar.

Whatever posting here so others don’t waste time arguing with the trolls
Only 2 online advertisers google and meta:
On Friday, Rep. Anna Eshoo asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate newly revealed police software, known as Fog Reveal, which allows law enforcement agencies to map the movements of Americans “months back in time.” That service relies not on netflow data, but location data culled from hundreds of consumer apps, purportedly for advertising purposes.
There is only 2 advertisement companies on the net for most of the market google and meta

Ah yes, karma, the greatest measure of knowledge on the internet. Who needs to support claims and cite sources when you have karma?

Fog Reveal's data is purchased from data brokers. However, neither Facebook nor Google sell to data brokers. In fact, they don't sell your data to any third parties.
However these data brokers are getting your device ID, it's not through FB/G.
You still haven't provided any source that shows that FB/G sell your data.

Please provide something better than “trust me bro” to back up your claim. I have come with mainstream articles.
t0slink t1_jb469ux wrote
As pointed out, even your "mainstream articles" literally don't support your claim anywhere in them.
When asked for evidence to support the very simple claim that "G/FB sell your data," you have come up with none whatsoever.
If it's such a foregone and obvious conclusion, surely you must have plenty of sources. Please do share them. You'd certainly be able to sue for a handsome amount if you could actually prove it.

Never understood why people like you simply can't admit when they're wrong and they can't support their claims. The world would be a better place if people like you didn't take being wrong as an attack on your identity.

That's not how this works. You are the one making the claim that they are selling the data, therefore, it is on you to provide that evidence.
You haven't done that, and nobody gives a shit about how much Reddit karma you have.
atwegotsidetrekked t1_jb5b887 wrote
It is how it works, I have posted 2 solid articles. Here is a third that specifically calls out meta in the first sentence
I have backed up my claim. The poster was a troll who only gaslighted and didn’t even try to back his claim that meta and google didn’t sell data to brokers.
BoxerguyT89 t1_jb5cgeh wrote
You still don't get it or you are being purposefully obtuse. That article alleges that healthcare providers are sharing PHI with Meta, not that Meta or Google are selling data to brokers. Meta being sued is also not evidence that they are selling data to brokers.
How can he prove that Google and Meta aren't selling the data to brokers? That's like asking to prove that God doesn't exist.
Do they monetize your data by targeting ads based on it? Of course, but that's not the same thing.
You are the one making the claim and the sources you have provided do not show that at all.

On Google’s servers
After the data leaves your device, it goes to one of several downstream services, like Google’s own Ad Exchange. Google collects bid requests from all over the Internet: from both sites and apps; from phones, computers, game consoles, and TVs; and from its own as well as competing SSPs. Then it presents those bid requests to hundreds of “authorized buyers”—demand side platforms that represent advertisers. Each of those DSPs has access to a firehose of personal information about millions of different users on all different devices. Google runs billions of ad auctions per day; in the process, it shares data about millions of people and receives millions of dollars from advertisers.
The data being transferred here is all associated with at least one unique ID: this could be the ad ID which identifies your phone, the cookie ID stored in your browser, or Google’s own internal ID for your account. Either way it ties back to you. It can include geolocation information, gender, age, and interests.
And meta isn’t just selling data to the nsa data brokers, but Russia and China (and Bannon’s data analytics)

Same here.

Your words. Purchase from whom?
In the EFF article you linked:
> And companies like Google shouldn’t be able to monetize data they collect without consent even if they aren’t technically “selling” it.
Does Google monetize our personal data? Yes, everyone knows that, and if that is your point, you are correct.
Your link regarding Meta, from 2018, also mentions indirectly "selling" the data using similar methods to Google.
> I don’t care about pr campaigns on socials trying to whitewash bad behavior
Anyone that doesn't agree with me is a shill, got it.
