No, they don't "leak data", data is sold. Leaking data requires a mistake. This is intentional.

Thank you. I keep saying this and the spin doctors keep using words that imply "oh, my...I am so sorry we had that tiny little privacy issue...we'll get right on that in the next sprint...". And winning the message war.

It's not a 'leak'. It's in the T&Cs you agreed to. This is the business plan.

I’m not sure. It could definitely be incompetence. We are talking about an industry rushing as fast as possible in every directions, their systems are very likely a complete mess. I really wouldn’t be surprised if advertisers are getting that data for free just because the AI labs didn’t bother
