Twitter reminds us we are the product, by providing our data to 'partners'

(Wed Aug 07 2019 00:00:00 GMT+0300 (Eastern European Summer Time)) Remember - if you're using a service for free, that means you are the product. Twitter, Facebook, etc, are rich well funded companies, but the service they provide is free for the users. How do these companies make their money by offering a free service? Recently Twitter disclosed they've been sharing data with "partners", but they've now stopped doing so. Honest injun.
