So you join Facebook. They hoover up as much data about you as possibly can. Sell it to marketers who advertise to you. Allow, either intentionally or not for politically motivated agencies to try to draw phycological conclusions from the data and use that to display adverts.
Ok... but you the public don't have to follow what adverts say, or pay any attention to adverts. You don't have to be so easily influenced or gullible.
All this leaked data to Cambridge analytical etc.. yeah so, the issue is the general public if they acted on the adverts/fake news, then we have a problem, and education is clearly what's needed.
Over my life I've seen 1000's of adverts for Fairy washing up liquid. And never once considered buying it. I just buy the cheapest or a more eco friendly one if it's on offer. Fairy are welcome to spam my Facebook for the rest of my life, I'll still pay no attention to it.

- why does fb ads think you are target audience for Fairy? Do you talk a lot about dishes? did you google it?uan
- Are Fairy claiming their rivals run a sex ring and will get your dad's job at the iron foundry back? I bet they are. Never trusted that little kid.Fax_Benson
- yup. totally agree.Gnash
- Who the fuck, in the year of our Crystalline Jesus 2018, uses facebook or any of these digital cunt factories *without* an adblocker?face_melter
- you make 'cunt factory' sound like a bad thingGnash
- +1 for adblocker - essential, as is a tracker blocker etc etchans_glib
- ^ if to be trusted. Also Fairy washing up liquid doesn't profile you, know where you are right now, what your thinking. Its a bit deeper than all of this.mugwart
- I’ve never used an ad blocker of any type.monospaced
- Fairy doesn't need to use fear and lies to sell itself... right wing politics does. That's the differenceSlashPeckham
- yep mugwart, way deeper than this.fadein11
- ad blockers are a funny thing to mention in a forum where a lot of people make their living from creating ads...SimonFFM
- @slash - right and left seem to be both as bad as each other. We live at a strange timesmugwart
- Fairy was just an example brand. Though one could argue I won't even think of such a brand if it wasn't for their advertising.shapesalad
- fear is exploited all the time in advertising.
Fear of: aging, dying, being alone, not fitting in, being a bad parent/lover/caregiv...Gnash - and just look at ANY political TV ad -- it's always DOOM & GLOOM if you vote for the other guyGnash
- interwebs is no differentGnash
- ^ miss the days when it was just sex!mugwart
- What the fuck are you not buying Fairy for? Its the only washing up liquid one should even consider buying. I'll never understand people.detritus
- lol det (nods in agreement)fadein11
- difference is you know when it's a TV political ad as opposed to an online fake news storyfadein11
- I don't have as blocker. I'm just immune ads. I'm practically jimmypango
- shapesalad, do you even work in advertising??? You are like a lumberjack cutting down trees then claiming that forest isn't disapearing because of your actions.pr2
- You are totally oblivious to how your senses and biology work.pr2
- Because of that i'm CONVINCED that adverts work you over all the time. Only acute self awarness protects individuals from their onslaught.pr2
- ignoring consumption is the only thing that saves you.uan
- but then it becomes irrelevant and only eats resources, your cpu, memory and bandwith and you end up installing ghostery or using braveuan
- still those don't safe you from information consumptionuan
