We all know Facebook knows way too much about us, but did you know that they're also trying to capitalize off of your broken heart? Yes, just in time for Valentine's Day, Facebook is using your personal information to help businesses market to you based on what you're going through.
The latest entry in the Moments That Matter part of Facebook on the Facebook IQ page is all about how marketers and businesses can reach you as you're dealing with a breakup.
So what if you're not updating your relationship status at every twist and turn? Facebook still knows what you're going through.
