facebook is dangerous and evil, yeah, but its also just...so wildly inaccurate with its ads and suggestions. it cant do the one thing its spent BILLIONS of dollars on: target you based on your location and interests.

Why were you, a early-40s man from the UK, targeted by this advert:
We targeted Women from Alaska.
All of this is intentional.
I don't know a single competent internet user that doesn't want to leave just for pure user experience reasons (if they haven't already).
The problem: the ads are for restaurants in the Phillipines, a country I don’t live in nor have ever traveled to.
I only saw ads and posts from groups I wasn't even in.
And that one friend's post I didn't care about over and over again.
And then there's that fascist thing.
Delete it people!
But it quickly recommends things like stand-up comedy in Brisbane or a BBQ at a tavern somewhere near Kuala Lumpur.
