Find out what @Facebook thinks you are politically.

Find out what @Facebook thinks you are politically:

  1. Open your FB account “Settings.”
  2. Select “Ads”
  3. Click “Your Information”
  4. Click "Your Categories.”

They had me down as "very conservative" which is right on the money and downright creepy because I don't post about politics on Facebook.

Most people wear their hearts on their sleeves.

Data mining is old as the hills.

...What is this “FB” of which you speak?...

FarceBook. An ultra liberal, socialist spying and snooping application with Big Brother type Thought Police/Ministry of Truth capabilities.

I guess you don’t have to “post” anything...just hitting the “Like” button will give them what they need.
Mine says (very conservative) also. Oh well.

I have a facebook account under a psuedonym with only my direct family as friends. But I do follow other pages on FB (organizations, sports, etc.) Seeing as my “face” image is a “Don’t Tread on Me” flag, I’m guessing I’m conservative.

They have me as conservative also-——I like wolf stuff and dog stuff———and “like” just about everything the grandkids post————when they do,FB is pretty much over for them.

Interesting.

The only think I’ve “Liked” is bird photographs, landscape photographs and some photography tips. I’ve commented on various photos and made recommendations for places where people might like to go for outdoor activities and bird watching.

I would think all of that is rather apolitical stuff. Maybe because bird watching is mostly a white person’s pastime, it seems.

Or maybe it is your friend’s lists or maybe the other websites you go to. If you’ll notice - there are usually ads on the right side of the page that contain products that you have searched for recently.

Just a thought....as someone said “data mining is as old as the hills” or something.

HA! They have me as moderate - likely because I don’t post about politics and limit posts to my family.

I obviously don't know my way around FB. I could only find some page that had my contact information and “Temperature” - which was Fahrenheit. Well dang right - none of that commie Celsius crap for me!

ROFL!

Of course, I’m “very conservative”, probably because long ago I marked myself as a Republican.

But, not only do they put me in “soccer fan” category (yikes! Yeech), but I have an “multicultural affinity for African-American”! LOLOL

Boy that’s kinda sad - all your categories have to do with “tech” devices! Seems we have someone who spends a bit too much time making love to the “phone”!
