As someone who has been privy to tools (hidden api enablers) that some would consider darker &amp;quot;hat&amp;quot; I&amp;#x27;ve been able since I was invited to beta test FB Product Ads in 2012, to cross pollinate an audience of people that like mint gum and are fans of Willie Nelson. Throw in local roasted buyers and late risers and I may have a super niche that nails a 800% ROI. Really powerful.&lt;p&gt;edit - and very happy, high ltv (as the kpi is known as) customers.</text></comment>

It was Max Schrems who warned Facebook in 2011. And Facebook said basically &amp;quot;no problem&amp;quot;, because users OK all that when they sign up.</text></comment>
