It's not time to grant people agency over their data

For accounts I chose to ignore some adverts, for other accounts I ignore other adverts.
The result is that I get different "targeted" adverts, and in one of the accounts I even started getting adverts as if I was a gay man from Eastern Europe (they only got the "man" part right). Smile

Yes... I have come to the opinion that Facebook is far from what they claim it is.

They seem to be focused on (and experimenting with) 'analyzing' human contact, rather than a simple platform for the exchange of ideas and conversations.

I resisted ever "getting into it."
