Can you explain what you mean by selling your data? I’m not intimately familiar with the controversy, but it was my understanding that they’re not really selling it, it’s just some weird legal ramifications that come with the term “selling” or something?
They tried to weasel out of saying that they sell your data, claiming that the CA law has an absurd definition. But the CA law just defines the term how any reasonable person would: the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”
So yes, they’re selling your data, and CA law is finally forcing them to admit it, rather than continuing to lie about it.
