and you were given them. so why keep taking this persistent obstinate line of questioning and persistent downvoting? it’s transparent and tired. industry experts chime in on this stuff all the time, it isnt anything done in backrooms or anything and is in the open. the only barrier to you not knowing is your own ignorance.

Persistent questioning (usually a good thing for debate by the way. I wasn't asking anything unreasonable), because I was curious and hoping for some answers from anyone willing to provide concrete details for claims that struck me as ambiguous on hard details, even though I don't doubt the widespread existence of personal data selling at all, as I've repeatedly mentioned.. As for downvoting, not sure what you mean. I can only say I've never once downvoted a single comment in any time spent commenting on this site, ever. I think the whole downvote thing is detestable and infantile. I'll even upvote things I disagree with just to counter it if I see them go grey.
