"SNIP............


President Trump “is using targeted Facebook ads to reassure supporters that he still plans to build the border wall after his recent public comments caused many to question whether he would keep his promise,” BuzzFeed reports.

“The ads are not visible on the timelines of the Trump or Pence Facebook pages. They are therefore so-called ‘dark post ads’ because they can only be seen by people the campaign chose to target with the message. This is the same type of ad Facebook recently acknowledged was purchased by a Russian troll factory in order to target Americans during the election.”

1. The only thing Facebook is good for is animal rescue.

Other than that, it is a pox on society.

2. I like it. It brings people together on the whole. They do need to reasses political advertising

I would agree. I read a FB post about a friend of my sister's from high school who posted she was at a pub in our hometown just downstairs from where my parents lived. My sister was in town to take care of my parents. I told her her friend was downstairs. They met and had a great time. Things like that happen all the time because of Facebook. I don't get the negativity. For sure creepy people are figuring out how to exploit facebook like all web platforms. Don't get why people are more down on facebook than say Twiitter which host Heir Twittler 6 times a day. I really wonder why.

3. Facebook is a propoganda delivery mechanism.

Was then. Still is now.
