No surprise really, that was always part of the deal. Google and Meta are relatively good buyers, if you consider that our data is also being sold to dark companies we've never heard of, or are difficult to trace back to their owners, or have hazy political involvement etc... Tech companies big or small will sell our data to whomever pays - see terms and conditions or whatever.
