He probably has Eric Prince on speed dial. This has his fingerprints all over it.

I think I’ve been mostly keeping up here and haven’t seen anything about this yet. Apparently FB thinks I’m moderate. I’m not sure if I should laugh or be creeped out.

FB considers me liberal. I do have a tendency to post Magna Carta length diatribes about Paul Ryan.

I'm not really creeped out because I post a lot about politics. Didn’t that use to be a fill in on your profile? Like you chose it? I swear I remember doing that early on, because everyone on my freshman dorm had it filled in. You can unselect from all those categories. I did and am now curious about the ads I’ll get.

I didn’t fill out any political opinion thing on my about me or whatever.
I rarely post anything political other than a random share. I like all the liberal things though.
I’m mostly creeped out that FB so blatantly caters to political biases. Gross.

? I looked and under "Your categories" I don't have anything related to politics. They identified me as a US expat, which totally takes mega sleuthing considering I'm a member in several FB expat groups. I am not creeped out by any of the info I see there. I wonder if they don't have a US politics category for me because I'm not in the US? The joke's on them, I guess. I can still vote in federal elections.

Somehow, fb had me labeled as conservative. I'm guessing it has more to do with the people I'm friends with and where I am than anything else since I rarely, if ever post something on fb that isn't about animals.
I also turned everything off.

You now have their name and email address and have to follow all sorts of laws). I did not even think about that being a factor in FB not being able to collect everything about me.

Facebook has me labeled as “very conservative”. Lol wut. It has to be due to family members that are on my friends list.

So I’m gonna take a wild guess that Trump saying it’s a “big step” to have the military guard the border means he has no idea that TX has deployed NG troops there or that both Cheatin’ Obama and Bush (does he have a nickname for W?) deployed troops to the border during their presidencies.
Wait until His Brilliance comes up with ideas to guard the air and water with troops, too!

Yikes. I don't know how that happened. I was able to remove it from my interests, though. Maybe that helps?

I rarely use Facebook other than for messenger, and my privacy settings are usually pretty high, I don't have FB app or sign in with FB to other things, etc. I have 3 expat settings. 😆😆😆 (Also frequent traveler and long-distance relationship, lol. Thanks for rubbing it in, FB, but you got me pegged.) It must still know I'm liberal though, because when I first showed up here, I got a FB ad for a local Aboriginal/Indigenous/Native (intentional vagueness) woman running for political office. For some reason I was slightly more endeared than horrified that it anticipated that.

I'm very worried for the guy on twitter because it's been 12 minutes since he updated and I hope it's just because he's calling his family or being evacuated. Jesus. He updated to say he's been evacuated. I'm not seeing anything anywhere about this yet.

FB had me listed as "very liberal."
I am just *shocked.*
I think at one point before I stripped my profile down to bare bones, I had myself listed as "unapologetically progressive" so not a huge leap for FB to figure it out.

Federal court finds Texas is in violation of the National Voter Registration Act. Basically, when people update their driver's license online, instead of updating their voter registration information, Texas is removing them from voter rolls and not notifying people they are doing so. Folks show up to the polls and find out they can't vote. Well that was massively f*cked up.
