Marketers Can Glean Private Data on Facebook


Marketers love that Facebook allows them to specify very narrow groups to receive their ads.

A recent study pointed out that if you click on one of these narrowly targeted ads, you are essentially telling the marketer that you fit the ad criteria, perhaps sharing more private information than you intended to.
