They nailed me as "Conservative." I'm surprised because I only post on some outdoor, birding and photography groups and have only a couple family "friends." I never post the daily goings-on in my life, never send articles to other people on FB, never "like" anything political, never post anything political, and never accept strangers as "friends." They have very little to go on for me.

My wife, who is very conservative, is pegged as "Very Liberal" which is hilarious. She thinks it might be because she is friends with a lot of very liberal Californians where we live and her co-workers are very liberal, too.

If you have a FB account, what does FB say about you?

Back in the early 1960s my Grandpa was on the local USDA farm committee. A secretary showed him the office manager had Rs and Ds on the folders. They fired the manager.

What is this “FB” of which you speak?

My leaning is not difficult for anyone of limited skills to discern. Republican Central Committee membership might reveal itself from time to time. Then there is my attendance at the nominating convention as a Trump-pledged alternate delegate. I also from time to time post or comment on cat videos.

NO. THEY CAN’T. Not with me anyway *LOL*.

I checked. They don’t even have a “politics” entry for me. You know why?

Because I’m on Facebook SOLELY because of an art interest that I discuss and participate in. Not politics.

For a year and a half I hit the “don’t show me posts like this” next to every single political post popping up from my FB friends. After awhile, they stopped showing them.

I have also NEVER posted anything political in 3 years (before then I wasn’t on FB).

So I’m a cipher to old Zuck. And - I LIKE it that way!!!

I’m tagged as a Liberal, haven’t really done much to hide my affiliation on facebook or the web in general other than I don’t open my mouth to blurt things out without thinking as much as the average lib.

>> 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.

That’s probably why they had you marked as very conservative. The liberals feel free to spew their politics. Some conservatives share politics, but many self-censor.

Also your profile probably indicated that you were employed. ;-)

If you/others think its only facebook that knows this stuff, you’d be quite surprised. Just about every major retailer knows. PS sounds like your wife is more liberal than she lets you know.

Mines “very conservative”

I only have 3 friends, My daughter and a buddy, both of whom I accidentally “friended”

Oh..and Laz

I’d guess it’s because I get the Free Republic FB feed.

Also listed as very conservative, and I don’t do politics on FB at all.

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.
