Recently, when I was playing a “genius test” (I flunked that’s a different story altogether)… I was stuck my this advertisement…

How on earth did that Ad know “Thillai and Aravindh” are my friends?


Note that the ad is from a third party… Does this mean Facebook has sold my info (and probably my friends’) to some third party company…? how can FB sell my data to some stupid company?
