antdude writes "Pew Internet reports that: 'Teens are sharing more info about themselves on social media sites than they have in the past, but they are also taking a variety of technical and non-technical steps to manage the privacy of that information. Despite taking these privacy-protective actions, teen social media users do not express a high level of concern about third-parties (such as businesses or advertisers) accessing their data.'"

    Your data is their ASSET.
    Business exploit assets in whatever possible way.
    Your assumption that they will be only be used for targeted ads is naive.
    Your naivety has been noted.
    As my paranoid convoluted thinking has.
    Have a nice day.
