Exactly. That is some piss-poor data siloing.
You act as if that 3 word, ungrammatical comment/quote/question was actually a complete sentence which doesn't need any interpretation to pin down what exactly the commenter was trying to say with it. Good day!"all my info"
Most likely just a turn of phrase.
I believe this was the entire issue with Cambridge Analytica. Facebook sold information to Cambridge Analytica which then did exactly what star_nerdy is asserting.
So the issue isn't that Facebook is doing what star_nerdy outlined. The issue is that Facebook is collecting this data and then selling it to anyone willing to pay. Those entities then do what star_nerdy outlined.
Capitalism, Apple make most of thier money of hardware sales - yea some services like Apple Music, iTunes store etc. but generally pretty transparent and not targeted advertising the way Google or Facebook do.
I am pretty sure this is the same for Samsung, their main source of revenue is hardware. Bixby and Samsung made apps I bet are pretty small.
Not happy either went along to be honest.
I'm guessing you don't know what "turn of phrase" means. If you did, you'd understand that I was supporting your comment by stating that you didn't literally mean all your info. Instead you meant all your info metaphorically. But yeah, you have a good day too.
My questions that you responded to was why the comment about Samsung... Samsung is no different from Apple in that they make most of their money from hardware sales. But yet, this guy decided to call out Samsung.
Not only the data itself. Much more, meta data such as face recognition results, speech recognition results, communication habits, eating habits, ...). And you do not change your face, communication or eating habits because facebook had your data. Thats unrealistic. They will know it is you, even if you deleted your facebook profile.
I never saw any reason to have a FB profile, and nothing I have read about the company or its practices has altered my stance in any way.
Yes probably.
Facebook maintains shadow profiles of people even if they haven’t signed up. They’ve also integrated data from other sources beyond the confines of Menlo Park.
Doesn’t help. People you know are on Facebook and they are getting the information through them, per the post.

Yes. I don’t know why that would be hard to believe. No reason to @delete” (actually deactivate, all info still there) because if you know even 1 person with Facebook, they get your information. This has been the case for a loooong time.
I really don't know how something like that would have all of someone's info. Certainly some of it perhaps, but anything even close to the vicinity of even most, let alone all?
They don’t have your files or anything like that. They know what web pages you visit, address, phone be numbers, etc. “all of it” of course means Sara that most people think of as far as life information.
There are so many sites out there gathering and combining data on you its amazing. Lots of it is free for identity thieves. Check out the site "familytreenow.com" All a criminal has to do is enter a target's name and the results include the target's family members and ALL the target's previous addresses. (That information is what credit agencies use to confirm identity.). I read a few news reports about this database being very problematic for cops who don't want criminals to know where they live.
