"Many FB users are tagged with the interest "Homosexuality" in countries where being homosexual is illegal and may even be punished with the death penalty"

@kensanata @michel_slm Ironically, #ACM.org hosts that article about #privacy on their privacy abusing #CloudFlare site. This is a better URL to share with the public: https://web.archive.org/web/20201222195411/https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2021/1/249457-does-facebook-use-sensitive-data-for-advertising-purposes/fulltext

@kryptonerd indeed. I'm just repeating the title of the article so as to not editorialize
