And also off-line data collection. Do you have a loyalty card for some store you go to often? There's a decent chance that data ends up with Facebook.

Well, Google paid MasterCard to get the raw data feed, perhaps FB did as well.

How come no one complains against CC companies about this obvious sell off of our privacy ? How come they are not targeted, neither by NGO nor government agencies ?
