      Wait! Facebook doesn’t sell people’s data. It profiles people based on extensive data collection and then sells people’s *attention*. CA got data because Facebook was giving it away—not selling. Pass a law saying Facebook can’t sell your data, and Zuckerberg will celebrate it.https://twitter.com/snowden/status/978714961450061826 …

      Facebook: "This is their information. They own it" BBC: "And you won’t sell it?" FB: "No! Of course not."

      Yep! Being accurate matters. Facebook has zero business interest in selling anyone’s data. If anything, that’s what would undermine their actual business.https://twitter.com/flashboy/status/978777785589170177 …

      I mean, exactly. Restricting third party access to user information is, to a first approximation, Facebook's current business model. If that's is the "win" we get out of this whole mess, then we've absolutely played ourselves.

          Data ownership won’t save us—it’s a step with very complicated implications. *adds to pieces to write* https://twitter.com/bandanachris/status/978800850582757376 …

          Which begs the question: why did they give it away so freely?

          Agreed. They don't sell data, they actually buy and partner for data from various 3rd parties. To be specific they monetize customer data, all day, all night and in stereo.

          Isn’t selling ads a form of selling our data? Yes, the customer doesn’t actually get the data, but they get what they want out of it.
