MODERATORS
Where is the lie? They don’t sell your data. That’s not how they operate. In fact, they want to keep your data as secure as possible so no one else can use it.
They build models from user data and basically sell those models to businesses. Models that can be used to manipulate behavior and distort reality.
Data brokers, on the other hand…they sell your data.
