Yeah this is one of the worst part about this whole situation. Everyone screaming ILLEGAL!! and also somehow acting like Facebook is the only one doing this?

Almost EVERY free site is trying their damn best to collect as much info and link everything together to sell it so they can- you know.. make money.

I guess those people are instead willing to pay for virtually every site they use on the internet, right? Right? crickets

it's not a binary equation though, if data collection were illegal, content and service providers would be much more likely to try other solutions
