Yes, I am baffled that anyone, with Facebook’s reputation for ads, selling personal information, etc, would choose to search for insurance carriers there instead of any number of other options that aren’t that big a leap away from Facebook, bruh.
I’ll have to take your word for that. As I said to someone else, if she were on AOL I could totally see that, but it’s more of stretch for me to believe it with Facebook.
As much as most don’t like Facebook, I honestly don’t see why Facebook is at fault here. They’ve got a platform where advertisers come on, say “I want to sell ads to people Ages X-Y , Gender A, in Geography I, J and K”, and they serve ads accordingly. What are they supposed to do? Tell the advertisers “No no no, you need to also pay for ads on these other demographics that you explicitly excluded”? The plaintiff should be suing advertisers, not Facebook, for intentionally not targeting them.
It’s not about that actually, it’s discrimination.
These people are still seeing ads, but not the ones which they need at their age
Yeah, I understand that, which brings up the second baffling point that someone went to facebook to search for insurance providers in the first place.
For some people, Facebook is internet
You’re baffled people went on one of the most used website in the world to search for something. bruh…

There are so many people who literally think Facebook is the internet and every other website is just a really personalized facebook page.
I’ll have to take your word for that. As I said to someone else, if she were on AOL I could totally see that, but it’s more of stretch for me to believe it with Facebook.
I have literally known people who think this.
