I wrote my senior paper at university on data collection and facebooks role in all that. You are so off base with your comment, it's sad. That "paranoid nerd" you just shit on is entirely right and you sound like a reductionist oaf
Don't forget that the groups they targeted were as small as 10 people. Facebook is the reason our world is a shit as it is now. Fuck meta. Fuck Facebook. Fuck all of them. I despise them with deeper hatred than 99.99% of the things I have ever known
I've been working like crazy to figure out the i-frames of Isabelle's ultimate's launch because I do team all the time but want to combo the end of her ultimate with a sleep. So far...no success :( but I'll get there!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. What types of coins do you typically find in a bag? How did you get started in this?
While not the best clip of all time, what a brutal way to do it. Props to the jigglypuff!
They handed data to bad actors who then targeted groups of citizens down to groups of 10 people on social media with hypertargeted "dark ads". These ads were only shown once and couldn't be found again.
This targeting was focused at all groups, all races/ages/demographics/political leaning but decently increased towards the green party candidate for a good second towards the end of the election. It was mainly positive towards Trump but focused heavily on all candidates to sow division.
In spending, if I remember correctly, Clinton spent like 8mil on social media campaigns. Trump spent something like 180mil.
Facebook facilitated and was complicit in all of this. They collected the data of how long we looked at things, where our cursors were, who we communicated with, etc. They benefited from all of this through the ads.
I wish the Super Smash Bros Lemmy was more active. I wanted to message the owner to offer to mod because Sunspider helps with Lemmy.world and has their hands full probably but can't figure out how to do that on Jerboa.
SSB is one of the first video games I ever played and I've been active for over 20 years in this series. The Nintendo Switch does not make it easy to pull my files so it's a little harder to save and post clips unlike BotW or other games
