Somehow Facebook and the mobile companies still deny they do this.
If the insights have access to this information then it's entirely possible there are two clear sets of data: the real insights and the desired narrative and that the real info is being used to more quickly replace people's opinions with whatever the narrative is.
Advertisers already use way more information than is expected. Quick greentext:
>working in innovation
>new product dev and some promotion
>for big burger chain
>they start talking about non price related promos they were currently doing
>"when you drive into a drive thru your number plate is scanned"
>"that is cross referenced against the dvla database to check if and who you are insured with"
>"that insurance is checked whether its paid for as a direct debit via the bank"
>"other direct debits on that account are checked to see if there's a direct debit associated with a gym"
>"if there is then the electronic advertising boards as you go in show as calories, if not then they show as price"
There's also loads that goes on with apps tracking your GPS signal and tailoring FB ads to other adverts you've walked past or have driven past you on a bus or whatever
