Third Party Marketers

Social Media is extremely important to companies. But most of them don't have time to build their own followers so they hire third party marketers to track everything users do. These third party marketers receive users information from social media sites. But what info do they really get about users? Companies record and then resell user usernames, website addresses, hometown, interest and how many followers people have. Companies also collect posts, comments, likes and shares. This invading the privacy of people because most people want to do is share and connect with friends but instead personal information is sold to data miners. Most companies lie say that they only collect information that it post publicly but end up getting the private information. But there are ways in order to install plugins or blocking tools in order to prevent information to be passed along. Third party companies and social sites are to the only ones benefiting from this while a person that did something looking for a job may not get it because of something he did years pier. All in all these companies have access to information they shouldn't have and getting for it.
