[QUOTE="Eddie Morra, post: 783846"] They probably know more but may not have to provide the data under privacy laws. For example, they may collect data about you which they must allow you to audit at your own discretion under privacy laws which are applicable to you under your country/EU (e.g. through the data export method they currently offer), but they may also use this collected data internally to calculate more data on you which was not explicitly recorded/collected from you. An example would be joining the dots on all the data they already have on you (legally collected) to make assumptions about you which may or may not be correct in the end. We already know that Facebook have done numerous experiments with Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning models... I am pretty much betting that they are leveraging such for predicting things about people based on the data they already have on you in compliance with privacy laws. I'd also expect that Facebook use collected data to make a larger profile on you based on other data they can find on you elsewhere off their services, but I do not know about how this is handled for privacy protection compliance, nor whether they have to provide such data if they did not explicitly collect it themselves.
