When it comes to an appetite for data, social media outfits are the most voracious, according to a recent study released this month by cybersecurity company Clario Tech.
The analysis of nearly 50 of the world s biggest brands found that Facebook collects more than 70 percent of all the data it can collect legally about someone using its service.
Other social media brands also collected a lot of data about their users. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, collects almost 59 percent of data available to it, while Tinder sucks up nearly 56 percent and Grindr nearly 53 percent.
