Look for Cambridge Analytica.

If you think the behavior ended with the scandal, I've got the Golden Gate Bridge and the Eiffel Tower to sell you, two for one :)

In the Cambridge Analytica scandal, there was no direct payment to Facebook, just to an intermediary.

Without an obvious payment, but maybe with mutual consideration: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-46618582 https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/12/faceb...
