I’m really not sure what they are going to do with all that data 😳

There is a great documentary called "The Great Hack"

It goes into detail that in the US, Facebook had 200 odd of data points on every person.  Very interesting stuff.  Shows that we are in a generation where are so lax in giving so much information away. this information is now worth billions to these companies.

You remember the 10 year photo challenge which floated on Facebook and other social media outlets.
