That's basically it. Facebook is a free service, yet it operates for profit. How does it make money? Two ways: by selling your personal information (which you share) to government agencies and private companies, and selling advertisement space. It's a billion dollar industry.

Duh. If there were no internet you'd hand out leaflets with personal pictures and details of your sex life on the street.

Two dead kids and no foul play? Idk about that man. Could've been a gas leak I guess.
