they don’t sell your data. advertisers just pick out the target audience and meta places the ads for them. This is the way google and meta have been doing ads for a while. Actually selling your data is illegal.
They still use your data to push ads so it’s a violation of privacy. Just wanna get the facts straight.

I don’t need to read some German blog to know that a company with a long history of sketchy behavior is sketchy. They’ve gotten on the news with their behavior plenty of times.

I don’t believe meta sells to brokers.
All we know is that they’re an advertising business. For all we know they use most of it for themselves
It’s just deceptive wording. I think most people would view “selling our decisions based on your data” as “selling your data”.
