Care to post your fb download here? Since you don’t mind people knowing about you


My understanding is that 3rd parties get to _target according to this data_, but they do not _get the actual data_. So I can say "I'm going to propose!" a bunch of times and get engagement ring ads (the classic example, bc now the bride-to-be may also start getting engagement ring ads before she's/they's proposed to) but the 3rd parties don't know what I said or who I am, just that there is +1 in the engagement ring bucket.

I also don't use much real PII, with fake name, burner email, but real uni and real birthday. Though I had to tell FB I was a straight male so I'd stop getting their hunk ads.

Anyways, there are ~550 advertisers listed. Here are the top ones. I threw a zinger in there too.

Live Nation Sponsorship x x Ticketmaster x x Drive with Lyft x x Essence x x Airbnb x x Uber x x AEG Presents x x MullenLowe U.S. x x AEG Presents - Media x x Coinbase x x The Joy of Spandex Deritives Incorporated, Inc Live Nation Concerts x x Amtrak x CVS Pharmacy x Iron Store x Microsoft Customer Insights Center x Massage Envy x Huntington National Bank x Evernote x Big Spaceship x Dollar General x

Edit: Holy sh!t!!! I personally made an FB ad to say hi to this girl I was dating back when targeting could be super narrow, and [her name] is one of the ads that targeted me lol! Wow and that was only once for a couple days.
