No Facebook account and I did not consent to them trawling through my life.

"Using a panel of 709 volunteers who shared archives of their Facebook data, Consumer Reports found that a total of 186,892 companies sent data about them to the social network. On average, each participant in the study had their data sent to Facebook by 2,230 companies."

We COULD open more communication channels, but

the question is why?

These new channels would immediately get filled with companies confirming a person's only reason for being is consumption.

Seems to me, I remember something about peeps dying from consumption.

@Madken65 To clarify I'm not suggesting we need more channels. I'm only saying I specifically don't want Facebook, Inc. hoovering up my behavioral data from 3rd parties without my consent. E.g. I've used that TaxAct and never agreed to them sending my info to FB -- but they did.
In 1999 the FCC ruled that this stuff could be opt-out. IMO it's as bad as Citizen's United for democracy.

@b4cks4w @Madken65
But you gave consent when you signed up. I don't think you can opt out effectively-- you're in or you're off Facebook.
Facebook's network of third parties is impressive
