#3And...Such data on the open market is also available to the government, without an sort of court approval. Your phone meta data, your SAT scores, your honesty about those scores, etc. etc.
As long as Big Gov is buying this abuse will continue. Sure there will be staged events by Congress, etc. but it's not going to change.

#7> “We do not share SAT scores or GPAs with Facebook or TikTok, and any other third parties using pixel or cookies,” said a College Board spokesperson. “In fact, we do not send any personally identifiable information (PII) through our pixels on the site. In addition, we do not use SAT scores or GPAs for any targeting.”
> After receiving this comment, Gizmodo shared a screenshot of the College Board sending GPAs and SAT scores to TikTok using a pixel. The spokesperson then acknowledged that the College Board’s website actually does share this data.
It would be comical if it weren't so dystopian.

#8Just how deeply profiled are we? I'm genuinely curious about what big corpo categorizes me as. How well do they know me? What do they care about? What are the most crucial points that I should keep private? It really makes one wonder...

Big government already has a hundred ways of getting your SAT score, for example from the admissions department of any public university in the country. It's everyone else you should be worried about. A potential employer, landlord or bank pulling your teenage SAT score without your consent and judging you based on it is a scary but very real prospect.

What's interesting was that back in 2019, they gave access to students' data for 47¢ per name. One of the biggest customer of this was JAMRS, a military recruitment program run by the United States Department of Defense.
