Meta's Data Harvesting

Meta's data harvesting is unmatched in scale, collecting over 4,000 data points per user across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, including location, browsing habits, and offline purchases, fueling a $113 billion ad revenue engine in 2023. This system is 60% more invasive than the average social network, with data collection per user rising 60% since 2020, and is sold to thousands of advertisers daily. Compared to #3 Amazon's warehouse labor, Meta's practice is more pervasive and less transparent, ranking 20% higher in sheer invasiveness.
