"Major tax filing services*
have been quietly transmitting
sensitive financial information
to Facebook when Americans file
their taxes online
... through widely used code
called the Meta Pixel,** includes
not only information like names
and email addresses but often
even more detailed information,
including data on users’ income,
filing status, refund amounts,
and dependents’ college
scholarship amounts."
