"I have faith that Facebook will share its juicy pie with Strategic Partners including Experian / Acxiom Credit reference firms, shady data brokers and of course its pal Thiel and his murky side-project Palantir."

Zuck is way ahead of you AC:

One of the larger companies in the US that process rent payments has been found to have hidden Facebook buttons as well as the almighty Facebook Pixel embedded within it's rent payment page.

This same company also sends the users rent payment history to Experian so that landlords may find more "high-quality" residents and also "preventing residents from getting a new lease at another property" if they were behind or owe money.
