Facebook spying ...
Here's something that was interesting. Buried in the details of your Facebook account is Facebook's rating as to your probable political leanings. Ranges from very liberal, liberal, moderate, conservative and very conservative. The classification is based upon your history of reading various posts and articles of a political nature. Not sure if it's only those read directly from Facebook or, like advertising, it's a result of info Google collects on you and sells to marketing companies. Here's how to check. The instructions say to do it from a desktop, so I don't know if mobile devices like a smart phone works" Log onto your Facebook account. While logged on, go to: https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences scroll down to "Your information" and click on it. It will display info "about you". Click on the grey "your categories" beside "about you". In the right hand column it will say: US Politics and then a rating. I am rated a "moderate". Here's a link that describes the whole thing. It provides directions and links as well: https://www.thrillist.com/tech/nation/facebook-ads-classify-users-political-views-how-to-change |
