Surveillance on Social Media

 Facebook is a huge culprit when it comes social media surveillance, but other websites like Instagram (which is owned by Facebook) and Twitter are also spy on your cookies and history. Your data is collected by these social media platforms and sold to advertising agency. Typically when you search for something or view something you will get consistent adds on your social media. A creepy thing happened to me and my sister where I was verbally telling her about a brand and she ends up getting adds for it on her Instagram. Not only are these platforms are using your internet history they are also using your microphones. TikTok has had a lot of controversy when it comes to surveillance, with the president almost banning TikTok a couple of times.
