I still have a FB account since it’s the only contact I have these days with a lot of my highschool friends. I logged in earlier today and saw this “NASA is a hoax” garbage in my “suggested” feed.

There’s nothing in my history to suggest I have any interest in conspiracy theories. My friends are probably right-leaning on average (I’m from a small town in the south - so it goes), but I clicked and none of them are in that group. So I’m sort of assuming this is promoted. Joy.

    I traveled to North Carolina for work recently. The ads I got on my phone were off the deep end. Gun stores, FJB apparel, and all manner of right wing nonsense. I don’t get any of that stuff when I’m using cell data in my town.

      I logged into FB via TOR and every other post was pushing thot-fans pages at me. Crazy absurd they’ll allow pushing anything. Such a dumpster fire website.
