Oh, that's troubling. Not the fact that they are adding 2FA phone numbers to their collected data, but rather that custom audience is a thing.
I thought they were taking pains to limit the ability to directly target individuals. They limited audience size to at least 1000 people previously when doing regular targeting.
How is it that I've never heard of custom audience until now?
- dalbasal 8y agoThey limited as targetting to 1,000 people because (a) people were using it in very noticeably creepy ways, highlighting thing FB wanted less attention on and (b) it wasn't making money. Targeting 1 person is not the advertising business. Custom audiences though, is why FB are profitable. The platform before those tools were intriduced (5-8 yes ago) made a lot less.
