Check out this piece my colleagues and I worked on: Cambridge Analytica's cycle of scamming voters to getting scammed, their website got over-taken by ads - and for the techy-investigators, learn about how to discover what - and who - is behind a website

This is shocking.

Facebook gave Netflix all your private messages on Messenger in exchange for all your watch history, while Netflix paid them $100M+ for ads.

Meta will sell your data at a heartbeat for profit.
