Why would he need to know Health & Fitness?? Anything related to Facebook/Meta is pure trash.

So he can sell your data to advertisers. Yeah, don’t use anything made by Meta that is connected to the internet.

Worse, they gatekeep your data and only sell your attention to advertisers. That way no one has all the data but them.

Yeah, the data is used to create profiles of you to serve more relevant ads, so that advertisers pay them more. Thats more accurate once I think about it a little.
