The people who write the question don't understand the question. They are "not even wrong".
They are telling the businesses to figure it out.
Maybe that's desirable, or maybe it's pointless. In prod strokes you can say data is either fully controlled by the users, shared with other user data for product model building, or also used for ad targeting. But it's unclear if being more specific is useful to anyone.
You can point to an example like equal housing opportunity enforcement, as it interacts with ML-targeted or attribute -targeted ads. It's equivalent to detecting discrimination anywhere a human makes an opinionated choice. It's a problem no one knows how to solve. It' not a law like "don't shoot or stab people" (which is also complex in some ways).
If you’re Facebook you have to know this in order to process that data. You can’t pretend not to understand the question.
