> It is harder to find information about FB's data sales policies

So you’re explicitly agreeing that you have no proof that Facebook is offering data for sale.

The quote you cite has nothing to do with the initial assertion: providing consultants that teach people how to use the ad manager is something completely different than selling PII.



Obviously you won't be finding a FB webpage providing details of where to buy user data by the thousands as I tried to explain above. FB"s role working with and for the Trump campaign provides some insights

Trump, Cambridge Analytica and how big data is reshaping politics - Gillian Tett in the FT https://www.ft.com/content/e66232e4-a30e-11e7-9e4f-7f5e6a7c9...


And obviously I won’t be admitting to murder, therefore I must be a murderer?

The linked article, once again, provides no proof (or even mention) of any data being sold by Facebook. I have no idea why you keep piling on irrelevant articles.


Cambridge Analytics just got banned for scraping data (stealing..) from Facebook.

That’s the exact opposite of Facebook selling them the data.
