Then they still have a profile on you.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Considering the few times I've seen targeted ads, it's never actually relevant to me, I doubt their profile of me is in anyway accurate.

I use blockers so facebook doesn't know what websites I'm visiting.

Accuracy is not really relevant to the conversation. The point is that though the Chinese app gets a lot of crap for being a dataminer, the American social media apps are no better and in fact worse because they create ghost profiles of non users and make a ton of money selling that data indiscriminately. There's no need to take offense, it isn't a personal attack on your privacy practices.

You dont think bytedance do ghost profiles..?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I had assumed that's what they were doing with the data they bought from data brokers like Meta and Alphabet, yes.
