This is shocking. Facebook gave Netflix all your private messages on Messenger in exchange for all your watch history, while Netflix paid them $100M+ for ads. Meta will sell your data at a heartbeat for profit.

Really great to work as editor on this piece, learnt a lot from the techniques of investigating, and how TikTok style can work to the advantage of politicians
