Maybe you was expecting another facts , no , I worked on this for about 3 hours , so better than facts / here we go
You know one of these moments you've been searching for something , like piano let's say , and then you see a piano ad , and think to yourself what a coincidence , but there's more , "the Free internet sites" which you don't pay for to use their services use a think called trackers , which track everything you do , focusing on facebook now : let's say you make a post about how you crave KFC and then there's that sweet ad on KFC , that's because facebook tracks everything you say , everything you post , everything you search , everyone you know and analyzes all that data, and then sells it to advertisers for big money, and facebook knows everything about you aleready propably just from info you post and messages and other stuff , they might know from your hobbies to your sexuality
But you might tell to yourself , i'll just delete my facebook , yeah you might , but good luck escaping google , and more site trackers , in fact google has their trackers on almost every site , that erectile disfunction you searched yesterday on "anonymous mode" which you think nobody saw , google has the front seat on that , and he sells that info to advertisers , everything you search , will search and searched will be sold [even when you write a e-mail or just simply watch a youtube video]
but except for that we don't know what they all do with the info , they might even sell it to FBI or something , but we know they are making billions from it , so when we use these sites , we aren't the customer . We are the product
but for every user they survey , they make just 12 dollars
your interests , your personality , your relationships , your sexuality , your identity , your privacy
you gave all of it away , just to avoid paying 12 dollars
and humanity chose that , we'd rather have it for "FREE" than paying for it
now you might be saying "Jessica you dickhead you made me paranoid" but no , there's a solution , might be too late , but still: I myself do this so , there's a site called DuckDuckGo if you visit it it looks like a search engine [because it is] now on the right corner you see a lil robot , if you click install and do what they say , you will avoid MOST of the trackers
Hope you learned something new , so till the next post
