The problem for ZB & FB is it is far more than being add driven, it is a
personal data mine. All the personal data surrendered by the more than
willing comodities, ...er, subscribers, has been, and is up for sale to
whichever entity is prepared to pay the FB price, to do with, for whatever
their purpose might be. That is worth billions to the right buyers.

Then there are the others playing the same game; Twitter, SnapChat, Reddit,
Skype (MS), Google, Amazon, and of course the other FB entity Instagram.

it's much more than just those, and it's nothing new either. it's just
a whole lot easier than it used to be.

note that equifax, who collects and sells people's data, except that
they can't be bothered to keep it secure and *profited* from their
****up, has not been forced to testify.
