This is a link post How can all of these things be so true at the same time?
If Facebook really manipulates our thoughts, they must want us to be really pissed at Facebook.

I like the way the real villain is a sneaky English posh bloke who's just trying to make a shed load of money. As in many naff Hollywood films.

This is a normal post What on earth will all these sad cunts do when Facebook closes its doors.
And they can no longer drape its pages with how utterly average their lives are?

This is a normal post The only thing I've ever seen from 'targeted advertising'
Is a slew of adverts prompting me to visit whatever product website I recently searched for and visited of my own volition anyway.

I gather the same is true of political opinion.

Although what strikes me as particularly dodgy is politicians using targeted messages and relying on filtering algorithms to deliver one message to one interest group, and something entirely contradictory or inflammatory to another. It's been going on since politics began, but the algorithms that drive the likes of Facebook and Google Ads make it possible on an industrial, automated, and completely unsupervised scale.

Although one will almost certainly fuck it up on a colossal scale and send out a video promising to bring back slavery or something, just like Google Ads generating a 'Best Prices On Slaves at eBay' headline when you're looking up civil rights.

95% of the adverts I received were for EVE Online.
