With 2018 coming to an end in a little under two weeks, it’s pretty fair to say that it’s been a rough year for Facebook. It seems that Mark Zuckerberg has been spinning plates and all of a sudden, some of them have started falling. Worse though, it seems that many others are starting to wobble quite worryingly. – Do I hear the sound of smashing china?
In a report via the BBC, a report has found that Facebook has been sharing our data with a number of companies. Well, sharing is perhaps not quite accurate… selling!
