I’m impressed at how obvious of a lie this is and how hard they’re trying to do mental gymnastics to justify their argument.

They sell to brokers, who then sell to whomever.

Then also, chrome and firefox have recently gotten the option to track you offline and just pass that info directly to websites.

Here some info about how much and what kind of user data is being sold (GPS position,…), and the legality of it all.

I don’t need to read some German blog to know that a company with a long history of sketchy behavior is sketchy. They’ve gotten on the news with their behavior plenty of times.

I don’t believe meta sells to brokers.

All we know is that they’re an advertising business. For all we know they use most of it for themselves
