This is a YouTube video titled "The Buying And Selling Of Your Information" containing a monologue or talk from March 12, 2020, discussing how big data companies collect and trade users' multiple email addresses and offline data with major platforms like Facebook and Google to create comprehensive user profiles.
So think about it. You log on to Facebook with one email address. But you probably have like four or five or six different email addresses over your lifetime. And you log on to Google with an email address, but you probably had six or seven different email addresses. And same thing for YouTube and same thing for Instagram. So in the years kind of 2013, 14 and 15, All these big data companies, the one I just told you about that were buying all your credit card information, all your financial information, your travel information, they started, it's called appending to your file, adding to your file, all of your email addresses. All of them. So in 2014, all of the big data companies, Then when... They were analog. They then got digital. Analog went to Facebook and went to Google and because Facebook owns Instagram, same thing with Instagram and because Google owns YouTube, same thing with YouTube. If the email address that you logged on to Facebook with, they had as one of their set, the data companies had as one of their seven email addresses, They were able to find you and they sold all the data, your offline data, behind the scenes to Facebook and to Google. So it was like a swap. It's a big data swap. No, it was a cash sale.
