Facebook is between a rock and a hard place. Either they insist the fake ads had no effect on the election and lower the value of all ads, or they admit they're effective and that they enabled the hackers.
Lol, that's not 'hacking', it's taking advantage of people who absorb what they see without being critical.
Thats not surprising as alot of apps require you to use facebook in order to login. Although its a feature that makes things simple, you are merely spreading your personal info across the web. Its funny because those same people than complain that they have no privacy on the net.
Funny how these accounting errors always seem to go in the company’s favor. I’ve never heard Facebook or Google or Twitter admit that they undercounted MAUs/clicks/views/whatever.
I use an empty alias account for websites that use social logins, to avoid sharing info with them. Surely this is not unique.
