Facebook helped advertisers target teens who feel “worthless”

arstechnica.com/business/2017/

“Facebook's algorithms can determine, and allow advertisers to pinpoint, ‘moments when young people need a confidence boost.’”

Can estimate when teens feel “worthless,” “insecure,” “defeated,” “anxious,” “silly,” “useless,” “stupid,” “overwhelmed,” “stressed,” and “a failure.”

@aral For me the biggest surprise is that they seem to be able to differentiate between feelings with such granularity.
