But I'd agree, it's a lot *more* than selling one's data, and maybe that's not even the right word. It's profoundly intrusive though. People may want relevant ads, but I don't think any majority wants it like this. Attach it to content or expressed interest, and few would object.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It would’ve been a better piece if it had mentioned that Facebook has entire teams working extremely aggressively to try to prevent this. It’s a direct conflict with their business model.

Probably. Though that they have to have entire teams working aggressively to prevent this speaks to how integral intrusive de-anonymization is to targeting. IMO, the key issue is this kind of identification happens—who gets what piece of it is indeed a business model question.

. Calling this ‘selling your data’ is far more misleading, IMO. Much better to call it what it is and argue about that, rather than try to define it as something else.
