I’m impressed at how obvious of a lie this is and how hard they’re trying to do mental gymnastics to justify their argument.

    So, they’re not lying. This is what they do. Meta is not in the business of selling (or leasing, like the other commenter said) your data. They are in the business of holding your data, so they can agregate it together and sell anonymous targeting. Same with Google and Apple. Plenty of reasons to dislike this, but that doesn’t make it a lie.
