If you applied for financial aid through Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in the US in early 2022, there\u2019s a very good chance some personal information was provided to a platform that\u2019s completely irrelevant to the process: Facebook. <\/p>\n

This report from The Markup<\/em><\/a> exposed that, as early as January 2022, the US Department of Education sent data from website visitors to Facebook, potentially including information submitted on forms like first and last name, country, phone number, and email address, via the \u201cMeta Pixel\u201d tracking pixel<\/a> \u2014 even if the person didn\u2019t have a Facebook account. The Markup<\/em> also notes that this data collection began \u201ceven before the user logged in to studentaid.gov.\u201d <\/p>\n
