As someone else pointed out, personal attributes are prohibited from ads.
My feeling is, communicating a compelling data collection story, even strictly positivist things like how much data is collected, let alone normative ones like we should collect less data or prohibit collecting it - you're not going to tell that story with some neat hack inside the system.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoI remember seeing a t-shirt ad that said something along the lines of "March people are X"... and I'm born in March. It just made me that I contributed to Zuck's data hoard.

When I clicked to see why, Facebook thought I was interested in a Pakistani newspaper (I think I'd read some articles on it on my phone, I guess the trackers picked that up). I guarantee you 99% of readers of the newspaper where I am (or probably anywhere) are of Pakistani descent. The ad wasn't telling me my race/national origin, but it was clear Facebook knew.
