      From: submissions@telecom-digest.org              By Julia Angwin              If you saw a Facebook ad recently for Jeremy’s Razors, which bills       itself as a “woke-free” razor for men, you may well be a father of       school-age children who likes ultimate fighting, Hershey’s chocolate,       hunting or Johnny Cash. This is according to Facebook’s ad library,       which describes the audiences to which marketers target their       advertisements.              I can see why Jeremy’s Razors is focusing its ad dollars on men who       might appreciate its hypermasculine message. But the reverse is not as       clear: Are these men better off for having been pitched an “anti-woke”       razor?              https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/06/opinion/online-advertising-pr       vacy-data-surveillance-consumer-quality.html              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
