If you ever used Facebook or Google Ads system you would know that this is factually incorrect!
Neither platform sales access to a specific person! Instead what they sell is access to “35 year old males who like football”!
- reaperducer 8y agoExcept that you could upload a list of e-mail addresses or phone numbers, or even an e-mail address or phone number list of one, and target that one person.
- rock_hard 8y agoThis was a bug though and fixed a while ago. It wasn't by design or anything
- jamiequint 8y agoFacebook, and almost all the other platforms which allow this type of targeting, make it impossible to do this now by setting a minimum matched audience size. This means that even if you upload a list of 9,999 fake email addresses and 1 real email address it will not allow you to run ads against that audience explicitly in order to make it impossible to do this.
- longway2go 8y agoIs it not quite easy to use 9999 real email addresses you dont care about or control? E.g. targetted ad in english sent to 10k thai people and one english speaker? Maybe even reduce costs depending on how the system works.
- 83 8y agoYou certainly were able to at one point. http://ghostinfluence.com/the-ultimate-retaliation-pranking-my-roommate-with-targeted-facebook-ads/ http://ghostinfluence.com/the-ultimate-retaliation-pranking-... I feel like I read about FB making some symbolic gesture to close this particular method (it seemed easily worked around) but my searching is coming up blank.
