Highly questionable. Facebook has been serving me Spanish-language ads for years, just because I said in my profile that I live in Venezuela, a country I've never even visited. None of my friends ever post on FB in Spanish and I don't speak it. I don't think FB has any sophisticated ad targeting tech to speak of. To me it looks like they just go off your profile, which is pretty basic.
- dannyw 7y agoYour anecdotes don’t match with Facebook’s valuation in an efficient market.
- icebraining 7y agoWhy? FB valuation makes sense as long as the competition isn't any better.
- tkgally 7y agoI have a similar experience with Instagram. I am an American male living in Japan, but most of the Instagram ads I see are in Hebrew and for female-targeted products (including menstruation supplies). I know no Hebrew and have no connection to Israel, but a Google search reveals that there is an Israeli woman with the same name as mine.
