apple doesnt make billions spying. facebook and amazon do of course too.
Facebook doesn't need to spy, the users give it up willingly.
They also spy, because just a few billion isn't enough
This is the correct answer. Facebook has third-party scripts all over the internet. I wish people would understand this — just because you’re not a Facebook user doesn’t mean Facebook (or anyone else) doesn’t track you.
I’m not sure about Facebook but tons of trackers are in apps too so the typical “use an adblocker” grumble isn’t even accurate either.
