I was waiting for one of these old liberals to put their hand over their mic and shout SHUT THE FUCK UP, KAMALA. Stick to the script. Russia and Trump must be mentioned in each question.

Going to have more tools in the future for determining content...

Can't wait for that.

Also..."We do not sell data to advertisers" You don't?

They give it away to political groups running for president, right Obama?

I mean...TECHNICALLY...they give that data away to prospective advertisers...

Lawl
Technically, it's more like they've accumulated any and all information about ppl, and prospective advertisers are allowed to ask facebook a series of

"go fish" questions.

advertiser: "yo, FB you got any trans, blue haired wierdos living in CA"
FB: "yup"
advertiser: "cool, gimme dat rolodex"
FB: "five bucks"

I thought it was more “pay us for ads, and we’ll target them to absolutely whatever demographic you want”

no, when you first initiate a FB ADS campaign, you (the advertiser) have to state what demographics you want to target, and then FB will serve whatever your adcopy, graphic is. (upon approval, no porn, etc and following guidelines)

Yeah, that’s what I said unless I’m missing something. They aren’t actually selling your information to an advertiser, just using your information to target ads they sell.
