Facebook gives full detail on all the data it is collecting and using to sell ads

Facebook has attempted to clarify the full amount of data that it collects on its users. In a post titled'Hard Questions: What Information Do Facebook Advertisers Know About Me?' the scandal-hit site details everything it collects and attempts to explain why it does it. The full scale of that data has been laid clear in recent weeks as the company has been attacked for the vast amount of information it collects on its users. In a new post, it promises that it is not compromising people's privacy in the way that it collects data about them. And it aggressively attacks the common suggestion that Facebook's users are its product, writing that it simply uses its ads to make sure it can keep that free.
