It's possible that this is some kind of fake dump created by a larper, but even so, I'd be more surprised if someone out there isn't doing all of this stuff. I mean the technical capabilities for all of this stuff exist already, and many services are gathering extensive data on users for marketing purposes. In fact many "free" apps are free precisely because they gain revenue from selling the users' data. This is just the evolution of targeted marketing. I mean even putting aside this particular dump, it's actually pretty impressive as to what kind of data Facebook gathers on its users, and even on people who don't use the service. I imagine that all of that data is being used precisely for targeted marketing. All of this is very plausible at least.
