I like that someone in a position of authority is talking about this.
That’s literally the sales pitch to investors, and has been for decades.
anti-Social ones. this all public btw.

We need you Lina Khan. We need you, but stronger, faster, better. Let’s fucking go.
People in this thread don’t seem to understand how anti big business the FTC has been since Lina Khan was appointed. These reports are meant to be used by congress to help guide real policy. It’s one thing to just assume social media is violating privacy, it’s another thing to have a facts-based report on exactly what is currently happening.
Of course the FTC needs new laws to do any enforcement and there’s probably not enough anti corporation politicians to pass laws that give them real teeth on data privacy issues.

Rule #1: anybody who can get you to give them your information of likes, dislikes just about anything will sell it to other people, or use it for their own sales to you.
Rule #2: If anyone has any reason to make you accept terms and conditions and there’s any chance that they you may want to sue them in future, they’re going to slip in a binding arbitration clause unless it is legally difficult for them to do so.
Wake up FTC it’s not just social media it’s deeply embedded everywhere in commerce and society and it needs to be addressed RFN.
They don’t say.
So this is why I switched to the fediverse. But to be honest, I have no idea if someone does things like that here or not. All my posts are public to everyone and machine readable. The only thing which would prevent someone of survailing users on the fediverse is it’s very small scale. It is probably just not worth the effort.
It is fine to have casual knowledge of or a hunch about something, but far better to have the research and analysis to prove it.
In other news, the sky is blue.
Don’t forget their 1427 trusted data partners!
Essential.
But it’s their legitimate interest! ^Whatever ^that ^means
