Wow 🙄

Staggering and yet predictable.

That was one of those eye opening revelations for me... when I realized that if you have a business fb page with a business website attached, you're authorizing fb to collect data from your website. I was doubly appalled when I went through my own data & i saw that my bank, state irs office, cc companies all had business pages with websites listed💀
