Society How does Facebook classify you?

[Belobog]

On Facebook, go to "Settings", "Ads", "Your Information", "Your Categories" and check out what is listed.

Mine is shown below. I have rarely posted anything there, yet its classification is accurate. I guess it analyzes what I look at, what devices I use, and my provided personal information. Maybe combines that with friend's and family posts that reference me.

that is only the start

Many more categories are likely not disclosed

I did this yesterday.
It just says "Awesome".

Kind of an odd classification but I'll take it.

Liberal apparently. I barely even interact with people on Facebook apart from beer stuff.

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

You have many more categories than I do.

I only use Facebook to sow misinformation. My last 3 check ins were Krakatoa, The USS Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbor, and an airport in Kuala Lumpur.

According to Facebook, I am very liberal.

Haven't logged on in ages, but I was curious so I did this. It knows all of my computer/mobile devices, which isn't all that surprising. But it also has me listed as a conservative when it comes to politics. No idea where it picked that up from.

You're the fist I've read as a conservative. Of all my two friends.

I don't post political shit on there so I have no idea where it got it from.
