Why I am trying to quit social media
It’s not about data, it’s about attention. Most people believe that facebook is selling data to advertisers, and this not true, at least not for small non-governmental advertisers. What facebook is selling is our attention not our data. Facebook uses our data to help match the us to the right products (ads), but it does not actually sell it (our data). Let’s say I use a feed blocker browser extension, will facebook still make money out of me ?...
