How Insurers Are Mining Your Social Media Likes

Episode 100 of Services Economy with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna explore how health insurers are using your Facebook likes, Instagram follows, and Twitter retweets to build predictive health profiles. They walk through how a 2013 Cambridge Analytica-era study on likes and personality traits has been repurposed by actuarial firms, why a single 'like' for 'I Love Being a Mom' can correlate with higher risk scores, and how regulators are struggling to catch up. Plus: what happens when your Spotify playlists become underwriting signals. A concrete look at the quiet expansion of behavioral data in insurance pricing—and what it means for privacy in 2026. #HealthInsurance #DataMining #SocialMediaLikes #PredictiveModeling #BehavioralData #Privacy #ActuarialScience #InsuranceTech #CambridgeAnalytica #FacebookData #Psychometrics #RiskScoring #Regulation #ConsumerProtection #Economics #ServicesEconomy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
