They also own one of genetic testing companies, as do Google. Some people are sharing very very private info with them and due to them agreeing with the privacy policy, You then get targeted with adds ( if your genetic profile reveals yoi are more likely to develop heart disease and alzheimers for example, you will get lots of adds about heart health. i searched for teeth whitening about 4 months ago every day I get adverts on Dental care. I searched for health issues my mum has, I get targeted with adds about nursing homes and more upsetting funeral costs etc.
When I first joined FB I was in school and posted a lot of dumb shit that cant ever be erased. So those of you that has kids watch what they watch online. If you have really small kids, read about "Elsa Gate" pedos were getting young kids to watch their child friendly cartoons, These sites were run by pedos who used codded messages, basically if the parents were not watching the cartoons with them, the cartoons were sexual and people pretending to be young kids were trying to interact with the kid or parents of the kids, but were smart enough to know the children to focus on. What annoys me, youtube did take action, but they failed to warn parents or exaplain the situation. A few years back I posed a throwback pic of when I was 11 years old. and my profile showed the school I was at ( I was 17 and in high school) but these sick fucks, thought they were speaking to an actual 11 year old. High school in the uk is 11-18. So being 17 years old I trolled them a little and I was disgusted by men sending me penis pics ( I was under 18 so still illegal) and asking sexual questions, that pic of me when I was 11, I looked like small kid, some even asked private info ( I gave them false details I was never THAT naive, I then pretending to be parent of "11 year old" self and made threats to the pervs, using UK sources, the ones that contacted me some of them were in a different languages. I used google translate and was appalled at the overt sexual remarks. I was a young baby faced younglooking no signs of puberty on the pics I showed. I tell this to people who have young girls and some parents STILL do not get it. I was stupid to play that joke but the responses shocked me, I had NO idea there were that many pervs, using coded messages, example the term "cake"
means British girl in their school uniform. For some odd reason despite going to a private catholic school, our uniforms were pleaded grey skirts, white shirts, tie and blazer, almost like Brit spears.
TL/DR
sorry for the ramble but I got way in over my head pretending to an 11 year old when I was 17, and to this day it angers me. so those with kids, be more careful!
