I don't mind targeted advertising, personally. I'd rather see ads that are meaningful to me than ones that aren't.<\/p>\n

Who, say, might have discovered that, even though he was not<\/i> identifying himself as gay on Facebook, found that, no matter what he did, that Facebook kept serving up very explicitly gay advertisements, since, based on their internal algorithms, his friends, his visiting other FB-enabled web sites, etc., they decided he must indeed be gay, for purposes of selling ads.<\/p>\n

Which, when spotted by his parents, led to him being kicked out out of the house.<\/p>\n

Nice commercially-profitable move, Facebook.<\/p>\n

Now, top asshattery award here goes to the parents. But one might think that FB would think very carefully about labeling a person gay for advertising purposes who has not identified themselves as such on their FB profile. Because, sadly, there are asshats out there who will react badly to such a "discovery." #ddtb<\/p>\n
