They don't sell our data, they rent us out to the highest bidder.

More data means they can match us to clients better and charge a higher price for us.

This captures Google’s and FB’s business model perfectly.

Not matter how you sugarcoat it, if you work for Google or FB or any other ad blasting company, you help further the model of selling data of people’s private lives to the highest bidder and ad spam them throughout the internet for months.
