Their main product, SocialNet, can map out a user’s activities across an astonishing range of online services—including pregnancy-tracking sites, payment apps, social media platforms, video games, bodybuilding sites and even fetish communities.

It’s shocking the kind of surveillance we’re signing up for when we agree to lengthy Terms & Conditions online—even within the most innocuous-seeming services.
