      Stop saying that Google and Meta etc “sell/share your data”. It’s just plain wrong and muddies the water and makes fighting them way more difficult. They sell access to the people from whom those data were taken, which is veeeery different.

      Data brokers sell data. Google, Meta etc do not sell data. It’s their biggest asset, why would they just give it away?
