To view the link you have to Register or Login They are possibly a bit more involved than a simple advertising firm. Their funding and origins and the extent to which they handled and shared information may be a matter of interest legally.

weird how the people who'd be the most obviously susceptible to it are the ones who care the least that it is happening.

They only have information you give out. I honestly don't care what they do with it. They are no different from Google, Facebook etc etc.

They haven't got a clue that they've been brainwashed. Facts are much less important to them than how they feel.

You don't have to believe 'everything you see on the internet'. You have to, or rather would benefit from, following available information and understanding and evaluating what you're reading. Clearly you aren't doing that if you compare this to a flat earth video.

On a serious note. I don't think social media has to be the black mirror dystopia that it has become but everyone needs to be aware of how that infomation is used and mined.Facebook is especially suseptible because its very much old tech in terms of social media and i'd argue its average age is increasing rather than decreasing.

If you look at the way that digitial and offline lives interact, those with smaller social circles tend to be more active on facebook, so you've got a less computer literate audience, who make up a mass of the population with a less active and diverse social circle.

It's rife for abuse, especially because data is facebook's business and how they drive a profit

It should be compulsory to read any article that is the subject of the thread. Anyone admitting to not doing so should face a life ban IMO.

Not agree with it, just read it. Other threads are available after all.
