Meta collects almost everything: what you post, what you look at and for how long, device and location data, and data from other people and advertisers. They infer sensitive traits and use Meta AI conversations for ad targeting. Data is shared across all Meta products and with advertisers. You can adjust ad preferences and download your data, but you can't stop collection itself.

The privacy story is split: strong on AI and content use, weaker on employer surveillance and ad-tech.
