I hate this data tracking as much as everyone else here, but is this really a surprise to anyone? I used to put Google Analytics on my blog, and I thought most of the people here were pretty aware of how gigantic the Facebook advertising claws stretched.
I feel like until we have an internet that isn't dependent on ad-networks, this is an inevitability. Targeted ads perform better, and you cannot expect these giant megacorporations to act ethically when it will cut into their profits and while they're technically not violating any laws.
