I’d honestly like to hear your take more broadly (what’s going on with the christians) on the topic if you were willing to share. I was brought up in the (babtist) church but no longer hold faith. Even still I like what JC had to say and have been appalled by what’s been going on because it is so far from what I was raised to understand. I’d be very curious to hear what someone with faith feels about the situation.

To be fair they’re not actually lying, they are misrepresenting the truth. Facebook actually doesn’t sell your data to third parties because they lease temporary access to it instead. Selling the data would mean they couldn’t recapitalize it with the same customers.

Meta’s customers couldn’t use it to skip doing their own market research and need to already know who they want to advertise to before they buy ads with Facebook. (It does provide insights and analytics about demographics during a campaign as well)
