Three things about Twitter's advertising: F-Secure's Mikko Hypponen explains data mining and Twitter's ad targeting at re:publica 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbF0sVdOjRw&t=12m42s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbF0sVdOjRw&t=12m42s Here are two recent ads ("promoted tweets") on Twitter: weev tells white people they need to stand up and defend yada yada. White supremacy is apparently a-ok with Twitter: https://twitter.com/ReginaSmall/status/595211478648651776 https://twitter.com/ReginaSmall/status/595211478648651776 Apple has an ad in Swedish. It's gibberish. Here is my best shot at translating it (if it makes no sense, my translation is good): "the good news is for the inhabitants of Sweden now can get iphone 6 set price at 10 kr, beatings not until late" https://twitter.com/ehsanfadakar/status/596304927724548098 https://twitter.com/ehsanfadakar/status/596304927724548098 Let me just say I'm not surprised if it doesn't work out for Twitter financially, 'cause if they have all that data Mikko is talking about, and they can't do better than spreading nazism and basically 419 scams, they deserve bankruptcy, so as to make room for someone who can do it right. That's how, I understand it, capitalism is supposed to work.
