Instagram/Facebook have some of the most sophisticated advertising technology in human history. They know my location history, they can determine the language I post in, and they surely have countless other data points they can use for advanced targeting.
And yet, Instagram is adamant that I speak Serbian and that I am in Serbia. I don't speak Serbian, and I haven't been in Serbia since I stayed in Belgrade for the month of June last year.
Good job folks.

- yakshaving_jgt 7y agoLatest amusement from Instagram: my comment was removed as it violated their community guidelines (no threats of violence), and if I make more comments like this my account would be suspended. In my comment I said I would rather see 100 lab mice euthanised than see a single child suffer from cancer. Does Instagram just employ the world's stupidest people or what?
