Yes. Thats still my main problem with this whole post privacy thing - the big players know allmost everything about us, but we only know redegated informations about them.

I just heard (so no sure if true, but likely) Mark Zuckerberg bought all of the surrounding houses of his home to protect his privacy...

Information asymmetry - it’s always been a powerful tool in business, marketing, politics, etc. While the internet and mobile devices have given the masses much more information, they have given those in positions of power even more.
