NOT AS PRIVATE AS YOU THINK   By Emmanuel  Koutsouras   Say you are browsing the internet, maybe reading a movie review , looking through amazon to find a video game you want .  Then you decide to go on  Instagram sometime later and see an  ad   for something closely related to that movie review or video game.  Social media is arguably the largest collective platform of information that the world has ever seen.
