With regards your last paragraph, is there any evidence of this? Any place Facebook says "we do not, and will not, use information X for ad targeting"?

- adgineer 7y agoNot sure if there's a public document as granular as "information X", but that $5b FTC settlement came with a bunch of policies. Also, the "clear history" feature should be rolling out (or maybe it already rolled out in your country) that lets you dissociate any 3rd party info from your profile.
- Nextgrid 7y ago> the "clear history" feature should be rolling out Your company has proven it cannot be trusted and will do anything it can get away with and has already crossed the line of "lying is totally OK, and if we're caught we're just gonna publish a bullshit PR-speak fake apology". Why should anyone trust it this time?
- chipperyman573 7y agoBTW I was wondering about that, I have a recurring reminder to check it every week and months after it was "launched" it still says I'm not eligible (I live in the USA). Do you know when it is actually going live?
- colejohnson66 7y agoHow does one check it?
- chipperyman573 7y agoI've just been checking the help page (https://www.facebook.com/help/2207256696182627 https://www.facebook.com/help/2207256696182627) and waiting for the "The off-Facebook activity setting isn't currently available to you right now." thing to go away
- Nextgrid 7y agoThey claimed they would never use 2FA phone numbers for ad targeting (which I didn't believe to begin with)... and guess what, at some point they started using them for ads and when things blew up they issued a fake apology and continued as usual.
