Seriously, if you hadn’t figured out long ago that you were the product Facebook was selling, you were not paying very much attention.

Remember all those pictures you uploaded to Facebook.  If you read the terms of service, you will find that Facebook reserves the right to do anything they want with them, including using them advertising.

Or collect biometric data from them.

Here is a basic rule of the Internet you Coppertops need to understand.

If you aren’t paying for the service, you are the product.
