A source on ancient mythos not having a basis in science or facts? Or that they served political purposes in their time?

Well I don’t know if it lost (Google) revenue (interested in understanding how if actually so? maybe missing something), but yeah it was definitely worth a lot of money to anyone who knew of it as a 0-day, and would have been lost traffic&#

That isn’t very hard to understand.

The implication could be that democracy is in real danger. Beyond the ease of swaying public opinion and effecting traditional elections, mass "voting" on social media provides an alternative infrastructure for political "con

On this forum you are sorrounded by people with backgrounds in data storage and networking. Any one of them will tell you there can be no reliable “forensic” assurance the data was not copied somewhere by any number of methods, even for a

Oh I see. That makes more sense. (Oof, that moment you realize that you are the wildebeest carcass in a metaphor)

So someone is trying to get journalisim to be branded as “traditional media” now. The implication is “old and busted”, when in reality they have modern widely distributed websites which are as contemporary as any alternative medias being in

FB is far from being a victim of lions or a carcass. If the metaphor you are trying to paint is a struggle is between Journalism Media and Social Media, I totally disagree with the side you’re picking.

They are well aware there is no way to assure they haven’t copied data 5 years ago. Pointing that out with rightful indigence is not “being a hater”. (which isn’t a trope that belongs in reasonable conversation)

It’s a different scale only in the timeframe of a single campaign. 3P trackers have an *ongoing central vantage over many campaigns, giving them data which they accumulate and sell to each other, causing leaked “private” data to accrete and

A “forensic test” to check that they didn’t copy and hang on to some data in 2013 ... well I’m reassured.

It’s not possible for them to keep targeting data to themselves. Targeted campaign products leak data about the user’s targeted attributes by their very nature. If you want FB’s targeting data, simply buy targeted campaigns and associate th

Even with their data policies, FB (and any ad platform) enables massive data-mining by the third parties which host the ad exchanges and destinations. And microtargeting can be abused (or just plain used, depending on your perspective) to i

Most people are buying ads for people to see. Some others, however, are using the platform as access to user’s extensive 3P data, once they click and are shuffled through multiple shady ad exchanges gathering and selling data, including t

2018’s 3P data and tracking tech no longer needs to violate FB policy to do what was done in 2013. FB provides a platform for ads, sure, but it can be used for way more than just ads. 3P tracking can infer who (even specifically) is viewing
