Apparently "Democracy" is one of the ad groups I'm targeted for, along with both "Republican Party (United States)" and "Democratic Party (United States)".
Weirdly "In-N-Out Burger" is also listed, despite the fact they don't exist where I live (UK). The suggested ad. preferences are also a little odd - it's almost entirely hip-hop related for no apparent reason (Ghostface Killah/rza/Raekwon/gza/Ol' Dirty Bastard/KRS-One/Computer data storage/Nas/Busta Rhymes/Big L).
I also note that "information [includes] actions you take on and off Facebook". I assume this refers to embedded Like buttons and similar?
- m_eiman 10y ago* I assume this refers to embedded Like buttons and similar?* Probably, and most likely regardless of you actually clicking the button or not. I suppose they count a page view as a weak interest, a Like click as a strong interest.

- JonnieCache 10y ago>Rupert Neve. Founder of Neve Electronics, famous for inventing the modern sound mixing desk. You're in good company there.

- AngrySkillzz 10y agoJudging by "Computer data storage," I assume their algorithm has conflated Nas with NAS.
