And this post about 's creepy & invasive is one of my absolute favorites, which I hope will resonate with you: "Show Me Your Ads" therealists.org/2024/06/show-m

In short, because I had Meta apps on an empty burner phone that was always home, Meta started to bombard me with ads about "gentle walking workouts" featuring 70-somethings... thinking I was an elderly woman who never left the house. In reality I walk at least 11000 steps/day every day 😂

The Realists · Show Me Your Ads — The RealistsWe’ve grown so accustomed to tailored online advertisements that we don’t question how invasive - and creepy - ad tracking can be

@_elena Lo stesso mi è capitato con facebook. Ho utilizzato un profilo vuoto per seguire un paio di gruppi, unicamente da computer. Questa cosa deve aver portato meta a pensare che fossi una persona abituata a usare piu computer che smartphone, ovvero chi oggi è tra i 40 e i 65, e deve aver pensato che fossi nella fascia più anziana visti gli zero amici. Non ti dico che tristume di post mi uscivano (però mi facevo due risate)

Hi Elena, I just wanted to give some support for your work, I really liked this article. I've added your site to my RSS reader and look forward to reading your other articles.
