To be fair they’re not actually lying, they are misrepresenting the truth. Facebook actually doesn’t sell your data to third parties because they lease temporary access to it instead. Selling the data would mean they couldn’t recapitalize it with the same customers.

Meta’s customers couldn’t use it to skip doing their own market research and need to already know who they want to advertise to before they buy ads with Facebook. (It does provide insights and analytics about demographics during a campaign as well)

“Republicans voters appalled lawmakers wants to hurt immigrants more than help American families”

“Elon Musk announces he is joining Bill Gates and many other billionaires in pledging to give away 90% of their wealth in their lifetimes”

“McDonald’s joins a growing movement among companies to prioritize employee happiness and wellness as a means to increase productivity”

“Citizens in both Russia and the United States are calling Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump’s upcoming golf fundraiser World War III”

I feel like a news site from an alternative timeline where people aren’t dicks to each other would be amazing!
