… Facebook has blocked several Breitbart posts. All these people share data, so why wouldn't they have access to all of them? I come here from Amazon and see ads for what I looked at on eBay. I mention an aspirin on the phone and see brands on Google after logging in... Facebook and DU are the only ones that have forums I like that challenge The Donald and his ilk.

… the US government gets more involved. Facebook can get rid of this org., but there will be another to take its place... and yet another must already be inside Twitter's info. What bothers me most is talking on the phone - a supposedly private message - and seeing ads associated with what I was talking about the day before. (ATT is the company, btw).
