> Facebook publicly claims it does Hahahahaha YMMD!

> Mark Zuckerberg testified in-front of congress and stated they do He would tell us everything that helps him as he is an opportunist

> Multiple government regulators have specifically checked that it does in their privacy audits You're talking about the governments secretly spying on us and lying about that since decades? Ouch.

There is no legal risk for those who observe if you abide the laws.

> Facebook makes money from your data by showing you ads. If you stop using facebook, you stop generating any revenue and your data becomes a liability, not an asset. That's just what you think you know. What about psychological profiling, law enforcement etc.?

Also did you hear about the "shadow profiles" about users who don't have an account? The moment you're surfing into their net (as we know even through embedded like buttons etc.) you'll be milked like a dairy cow.

> What reason would there be to lie about it? What reason is there not to be honest about it? The recent events have shown very clearly that they don't have to fear much.
