Maybe the driver who delivered it would roll their eyes. Maybe Doordash\u2019s recommendation system would say \u201cAh, that\u2019s a juicy sale!\u201d and suggest I repeat the order in a few days. But I assumed my purchase wouldn\u2019t ripple much beyond that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>But I was wrong. Doordash (and hundreds of companies like it) aren\u2019t just recording every purchase you make. They\u2019re also sharing purchase data with other companies, who are using it to target ads. And as I would discover as a result of my extravagant bubble tea order, one of those companies is Facebook.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"caret-color: rgb(27, 27, 27); color: rgb(27, 27, 27); font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none\">The result is that consumers can now access massive data dumps from several large companies, including Facebook.
