from your mouth to God ears.

Look at the quality of ads on facebook similar quality to late night tv.

3/4's of the accounts seem to be fakes.

Close connections with the NSA

the thing is a house of cards one quick blow to the table nd the whole thing falls.

I just can't bear Zuckerberg as a person, nor his politics.

I don't necessarily find the ads tackier than elsewhere, though I wasn't madly impressed to get an ad for "mature dating".

Then I remembered my birth year is likely set to 1901 or something, so fair enough perhaps...

I got an ad for an app that lets me know the best time to get pregnant and increase my chances of getting pregnant by x%. My Facebook has me at 23 and single. ...

I think that's on the advertisers more than Facebook though.

Maybe their advertising algorithm just figured me out :)
