Just found an implementation of Google Ads Remarketing api on Facebook's domain.
FB users are basically fucked with two big sticks!8 -
Quite an aggressive remarketing strategy.. Caught my attention yes, but this crap all around the interwebs would eventually become irritating as hell..3

DevRant has many privacy-conscious people and honestly just people who don't like when their personally identifiable data gets shared.
Yet, DevRant uses Carbon Ads owned by BuySellAds. Here's what their privacy policy reads:
"Some Personally Identifiable Information may also be provided to intermediaries and other Third Party Service Providers (defined in part (4) below) who assist us with the Services"
You know what's the funniest thing? In "part 4 below" they never actually state which companies do they share personally identifiable information with.
Just a quick reminder that when you use DevRant, your personally identifiable information may be shared with any amount of third parties, and you could bet a lot of money that the list includes Google and Facebook because of remarketing. Remarketing is a fancy term that means not selling personal data but instead giving it away for free.
