        Technically that wasn’t a sale. CA made a bunch of quizzes with overly broad permission requests and all our friends unknowingly sold us up the river to find out which Star Trek character they were.

      I mean, that’s TTT: instead of selling your info they charge companies showing you ads you might be interested in.

        Yeah, they don’t sell info about your personal interests, they only let other companies use it in exchange of money.
        Totally different, legally distinct operation…
