The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has been found to be sharing the postal addresses of its online customers with major ad and tech giants, including Meta, LinkedIn, and Snap. This revelation was reported by TechCrunch, which discovered the practice through an investigation. The USPS has stated that it addressed the issue and ceased the practice after being contacted by TechCrunch, claiming it was unaware of the data sharing. The data was reportedly shared through hidden tracking pixels.
