NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook defends its data collection and sharing activities by noting that it's adhering to the privacy policy it shares with all users.Its policy is clearer and more concise than those of many other internet companies. Yet few users actually read it, and many might be surprised at what sorts of things it allows.For example, profiles aren't limited to pages or posts you like, comments you make and your use of outside apps and websites. One researcher says that if you start typing something and changes your mind, Facebook analyzes that anyway.And, increasingly, Facebook tries to match what it knows about you with your offline data, purchased from data brokers or gathered in other ways.
