FTC report shows "staggering" amount of personal data collected on social media sites

The FTC ordered nine companies to provide information on their data collection practices. According to the report, through targeted ads on and off these platforms, they gather information like marital status, annual income, health conditions and religious faith, but don't provide easy ways for users to opt out of data collection.
