Study: Thousands of businesses just love handing over your info to Facebook https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2024/01/18/facebook_tracking_data/
'The startlingly extent to which websites and brokers hand over details of people's habits to Facebook was revealed Wednesday.
A study [PDF] by Consumer Reports and non-profit The Markup concluded that for the average lone Facebook user, 2,230 companies, and in some cases more than 7,000, will hand over that person's information to Facebook. We're told 709 volunteers took part in the study over three years, during which time 186,892 organizations passed data about them to the Meta-run empire.'
