Social media controls the world

Facebook is going to get filled with false troll ads like this from all sides

Isn’t it already?

[Clay]

I want to buy an ad saying that Mitch McConnell has called for Republicans to support Democrats in impeaching the treasonous Donald Trump. The rightwing nutjobs that I know of that get their “news” from Facebook have no filter, it’ll be injecting it straight into their veins.

So… you can hyper target ads on Facebook. I bet you could create that ad and target those people pretty effectively and spam them with that ad for < $20.

Someone needs to get John Oliver on this project STAT.

It’s too bad Stephen Colbert’s Super PAC isn’t still around.

Is that second picture photoshopped in any way? He looks like a demented android. Those eyes look like something you see in a serial killer’s mug shot.

How can you have over a billion dollars and not spend more than a dollar on a haircut?

No one becomes a billionaire by spending money at Great Clips, Timex!

No, that’s what he always looks like and has always looked like.

That’s him in front of Congress the other day.

I think you guys are on to something. If Facebook won’t police ads at all, then the Dem PACs need to start putting out the most misleading and manipulative ads possible. Not dangerous or subversive, just straight lies. Two can play this game.

@KevinC’s idea above is a good start.

[CraigM]

Agreed.

And make it so blatant this is what Facebook is doing.

At this point I’m in favor of targeted ads at Trump supporting Congresscritter’s constituents saying they’re against Trump and for gun control. The secret is that you need a group that sounds Rightwingish, you can’t be as obvious as “The Really Online Lefty League” or whatever. You need “American Patriots for Christ” or something equally silly.

Too on the nose, you need something that implies that, but doesn’t say it outright.

How I Pranked My Roommate With Eerily Targeted Facebook Ads

This is the chronicle of the most epic retaliation and how I pranked my roommate with targeted Facebook Ads to the point of complete paranoia and delusion.

I remember reading this and it was hilarious. Such a good read.

I assumed he was studying to become a monk but got the haircut backwards. Reverse tonsure!

I don’t know. Ask Mark Davis, owner of the Raiders:
