That’s an interesting point, I hadn’t thought of this. Another paranoia unlocked!
I've seen people questioning that a lot, and I suspect that's not happening for practical reasons. It's a lot of effort for legitimate companies to go through to sell applicant data. However, I think there are scammers operating on LinkedIn and elsewhere that are doing something akin to that, building databases that can be exploited for email scams. Scammers operating things like the "fake check scam" may be finding their prospects through sketchy job postings.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if that were the case. Especially when it comes to the fact that a lot of scammers out there who are just looking to make a quick buck at the job seeker's expense.
Who knows? However with that said you can't trust anyone and you need to be on your guard at all times in order to avoid such a thing

Wouldn't surprise me.
Also haven't thought of this. Although, most applications don't have gender, race, age, socioeconomic information on them, or other kinds of demographic markers used in a lot of statistics. Unless they're straight up selling emails, phone numbers, and addresses for shady business.
I do know employment scams are a thing. I've seen it in human trafficking CEs. They can gather a lot of information about you.... Not that we need more fears!
