Facebook Allowed Advertisers To Target Users Interested in 'White Genocide' (theintercept.com)
Multiple readers have shared a report: Apparently fueled by anti-Semitism and the bogus narrative that outside forces are scheming to exterminate the white race, Robert Bowers murdered 11 Jewish congregants as they gathered inside their Pittsburgh synagogue, federal prosecutors allege. But despite long-running international efforts to debunk the idea of a "white genocide," Facebook was still selling advertisers the ability to market to those with an interest in that myth just days after the bloodshed. Earlier this week, The Intercept was able to select "white genocide conspiracy theory" as a pre-defined "detailed targeting" criterion on the social network to promote two articles to an interest group that Facebook pegged at 168,000 users large and defined as "people who have expressed an interest or like pages related to White genocide conspiracy theory." The paid promotion was approved by Facebook's advertising wing.
After we contacted the company for comment, Facebook promptly deleted the targeting category, apologized, and said it should have never existed in the first place. Our reporting technique was the same as one used by the investigative news outlet ProPublica to report, just over one year ago, that in addition to soccer dads and Arianna Grande fans, "the world's largest social network enabled advertisers to direct their pitches to the news feeds of almost 2,300 people who expressed interest in the topics of 'Jew hater,' 'How to burn jews,' or, 'History of "why jews ruin the world."" The report exposed how little Facebook was doing to vet marketers, who pay the company to leverage personal information and inclinations in order to gain users' attention -- and who provide the foundation for its entire business model.

What is the most pressing issue for the persecuted whites of today and how can they fix it?
I am as skeptical of Facebook as anyone, but in this case ... is it really wrong to identify morons and give the opportunity to advertise specifically to them?

Can a Facebook user query to see what categories Facebook assigns to them? How about to their friends?
"bogus narrative that outside forces are scheming to exterminate the white race"?
It's not a "bogus narrative" but obvious fact. You'd have to be mentally ill to not see it at this late point. (Which a lot of people indeed are...)
And it's not "outside forces", but the Jews, who are quite local to Earth. And they aren't "scheming", but actually doing.
Hell, /. Gets plenty of posts about exterminating white people.
Jews are scheming to eliminate the white race? Aren't the Jews themselves... white? (My Jewish best friend is a Jerry Garcia look-alike who could easily pass for a redneck. He's even a bluegrass music fan!)
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
The platform is operating as designed. Maybe I want to sellca brand tear gas remover to those interested in socialist, anarchal takeover.

the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Facebook has proven time and time again that they will allow anything that targets whites, law enforcement, or conservatives and only have an interest in blocking "hate speech" if it's targeted at minorities or the left. This is hardly even newsworthy at this point, it's just their platform.
So what else can we do for fun now?

See the excellent documentary, The Facebook Dilemma: A Two-Night Special Event. All the Facebook officials answered questions by avoiding details of any depth. They only pretended to answer.
Because of the many interesting details, I think this book may be helpful: Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President Facebook was used to manipulate voters.

It's awful how you were born without a brain or testicles, always the victim of the evil "other" that John Birch warned you about. Now you have to watch Trump die in prison, a traitor! SO NOT FAIR! Loooooool, cowardly nazi faggot.
"It's the jooooos, they conspired to rape Don Junior to pieces in prison!"
I'm in hiding now. See, the other day my white male neighbor was out working in his yard and all these women, people of color, Jews, and others came up and pointed and said, "YOU WHITE MEN!!!"
They then beat him, whipped him, stripped him, took everything they had and expelled him from the community!
At work, I have to say, "Yessim, Nosim" to the women and people of color because I have too.
And it sucks, I have to work harder and longer than all the women and minorities. It's just horrible.
And I said "hello" the other day to a black woman and I was written up. Now I have to take sensitivity training from 9-5 and then get my work done.
The other day, I was talking to an Asian and I said, "I want to be spic and span clean of bugs with this code."
She wrote me up. I used a racially insensitive term about Hispanic people in front of her.
I congratulated a woman for having her first child.
Written up for being sexist and not respecting people's gender preferences. She identified as a man.
I apologized and said I didn't mean to sound like white trash - I was written up again for being racially insensitive to myself.
"My bad! It must be the testosterone!"
Written up again.
"I tell ya, humans are so touchy!"
Written up again for dissing people.
So, I kept silent and nodded my head.
Written up again for making fun of people with hearing impairments.
So one day, I'm really pissed. I say, "You n1ggers, dingy broads, chinks, spics and everyone else - get a fucking life!!!"
I was diagnosed with Tourettes and autism. I was then under the ADA and now I can call everyone else insensitive and send THEM to sensitivity training.
As the executionor told the black man in Blazing Saddles : "Everyone is equal in my eye."
Well? Where're the stories? I'm stocked up on popcorn & mountain dew...
I love listening to you bitch nazi incels whine. It makes my red hard-working American blood (the same blood immigrants brought here on the Mayflower) know the world is as it should be. Nazi bitches crying their little eyes out.
I love it.

I love reading you whiny nazi faggots crying your eyes out about how you're the real victims. Cracks me up. Bring some lube for prison, Trumpy. There will be friction.
these people have convinced themselves Jews are somehow a different species. Just the fact that they can interbreed with Aryans (and every other human) should have clued them in on how batshit insane that is. And it's not like they don't know, they have rules for how much Jewish blood you can have.
Once you can except a lie that obvious you can accept any lie. You'll believe anything. And then all you need is somebody to come along and point you in the right direction for violence...

White people being romantically preferred over other races makes them victims?
Interesting theory. Please, tell me more.
Probably just a coincidence that just now on Twitter, they had to apologize for letting "#KillAllJews" trend. Do you see a pattern?

I love how you pussy ANTIFA dipshits think there are actually a bunch of nazis running around. Where are they? I haven't seen any. Why don't you go get a job.
seems you can put almost any words into a "demographic" to target your FB ad campaign to and it will happily accept your money. Whether or not there actually is a demographic or not seems irrelevant. Wanna target "anal probed by aliens and liked it" guaranteed you'll get claims Facebook "reached' a million people of that demographic, but you'd not find anywhere near that number actually searching for it.
It's called the burden of beauty.
Well known premise, the more attractive among us are continually dismissed as being shallow and brainless, as if their beauty is only skin deep.

Ah, yeah, I agree. My natural beauty truly can be a burden at times. I've even taken to growing a neck beard and only showering once a week in an effort to put an end to the constant female attention, but nothing seems to work ...

Now when some group or another starts doing actual genocide on whites, Facebook will suppress reports of it as well. All for your knee-jerk horseshit's sake.
Just look at the birth rate and population projections for Canada, America, UK, and many other western/Caucasian countries.. Now maybe it's white suicide... but something has caused white birthrates to fall WELL below replacement levels while governments are literally importing millions of other peoples to makeup the shortfall.. Then government policy of affirmative action and other leftist, self-destructive policies ..
I have looked at the numbers, it is happening... I wouldn't blame the 'jews', althought if there is concerted effort behind it, they might well have a few jews in their ranks(Soros).
Hence the term 'the great replacement'..
You are absolutely retarded!!! It is you RADICAL LEFTISTS that contain the LGBT faggots in your group!! Nazis are TOTALLY AGAINST cock sucking faggots and you know that!! Go suck your brother's dick who used to be your sister!
Is for everyone to stop wasting their time on the Internet and consuming mass media generally.

There are a ton of Nazis running around. Except they dress in black, wear masks/bandanas over their faces, use violence to push their goals, claim sole right to dictate who gets to do what (usually based solely on race and gender), and call themselves, quaintly enough, "Anti Fascists".

Free speech is being attacked everywhere . Topics being banned, not being able to say what you think. This is true fascism, this is the way for complete world controll.
Thousands of concerned citizens say no.
In fact, FB, Google, and Apple are now being required to pay UK taxes due to their shady tax avoidance, not to mention other activities that are anti-democratic by nature and anti-social by definition.

Sounds like you're doing it wrong. You need to add in an extra 300lbs to really make it work for you. Beards and neckbeards are in vogue right now, and then there's the whole limited showering natural scent movement. Don't worry, you can get those 2-4/10 girls with some extra effort, I believe in you!
But you'll never be as attractive as someone who goes /fit/ and wears a lumberjack shirt.

Was going to say something, but I feel like I've walked into some kind of conservative circle-jerk here. How awkward.
the kind that let you afford to raise a family. Look at the most successful time in the history of the American civil rights movement and it was when the economy was the strongest for the working class (the 60s and early 70s). Then you see dips as the economy crashes.
Incels are just guys that can't get laid, and that's almost always because they can't afford women. That makes them vulnerable to opportunists who offer up easy solutions to their problems.
Fix the economy for the working class and white supremacy will fade back into the background. Hitler couldn't' have done what he did without WWI reparations wrecking the German economy. A big part of exterminating the Jews was taking their property for the war and not having to feed them.

claim sole right to dictate who gets to do what
No, they don't claim sole right to punch nazis, other people get to do it too!
The only thing they dictate is, "don't be a nazi."
Usually that is easy, what makes it so hard in your experience?
Given the timimg, it should be obvious that a caravan of Gab refugees has arrived at Slashdot. The proper thing to do is to treat them as they would expect a caravan of refugees be treated.
The only thing they dictate is, "don't be a nazi."

Well, I didn't think it was hard, until those nice folks at ANTIFA informed me that wearing a red "make bitcoin great again" hat makes you a Nazi. And then proceeded to pepper spray the girl who was wearing it.
As I do live and breathe... you're actually capable of writing something intelligent! Who'd have figured??
Well, yeah, I can see how somebody dressed as a tragically naive almost-nazi would be at risk of being confused for a real nazi.
OTOH, when people are getting pepper sprayed it sounds like it was worn to a political event. And now I'm really wondering if you are, in fact, a nazi.
'How to burn jews,' or, 'History of "why jews ruin the world."
Clearly they have somehow ruined the world by being difficult to burn.
Being declared domestic terrorists, forcing others to drive where they illegally dictate you can drive (and beating on cars that they feel "offend" them), using violence as the means of communication, and demanding ideological purity to their own goals. Pretty much full-on Nazi-esque behavior.

Beards may be in.... but what if he shaved everything except the neck?
I'm definitely a believer in white genocide.
As far as an ongoing event it's fucking obvious it happen here in Sweden if the destruction of our people / breed or whatever you wanna call it is what it is about.
As for whatever it's planned and on purpose I don't really think matter much but for some antiracists who don't want it to be possible to claim "I'm .." they likely want the mixing. some immigrants likely want more of their people here. I know for a fact Erdogan wanted more Turks in Europe and more Turkish children in it. Maybe more for loyality and alliances than to replace Europeans but. We've also got Gadaffi who meant the Muslims were winning and achieving the conquest of Europe (simply by immigration.)
For all I care those who want to claim there "are no races" or "all Swedes are immigrants" or whatever and then let the replacement happen they are actors and cause it.
As for the Jews theres definitely Jews who are in such positions. Then again it's not weird if whatever immigrant is in a position where they work for minority rights or view on immigration or such because that relate to them and may be important to them but it of course doesn't necessarily line up with the ideas and will of the natives.
(Similarly with all the people who think democracy is good one more likely of democracy would be a push for assimilation and less immigrant influences as long as they are a minority. These people rarely understand why democracy and the rule by the majority is bad and not as liberal as they think and claim.)
right? Facebook has consistently been caught making it easy for advertisers to target racists whites. Facebook is a company. They make money. Perhaps we should be asking ourselves why there is so much money to be made targeting that particular demographic.
I'd like to think it's all the Russian trolls buying up ads to rile up a small percentage of Americans. It's also possible that small percentage of racists is worth targeting because they're easy to fleece, especially during a mid-term election where they can be tricked into voting against their best economic interests.
When you're feeling instead of thinking you do dumb things.

Well there you go. Apparently all it takes to be a Nazi is to go to a political event ... and you are somehow confused by why it's hard to not be a Nazi.
If FB or googl or Twitter start having humans curating their ad words or the content of their users posts, their biz model becomes a lot closer to newspapers. At over 1B users in their cases, their biz model falls apart. And it becomes even more SJW biased.
Gives a hint at "why AI." As until AI is actually intelligent, the current attempt at keyword matching and "oops, our bad, how'd that entirely inappropriate ad get on that YouTube channel," these gaffes will be the model for the foreseeable future.
There's no way they don't all know it. And it's generating huge piles of cash, to let their woke employees dabble in cool stuff, that will never, ever move the ad word driven financial needle.
This is why I come to Slashdot. For the fashion advice.
Sounds like a typical afternoon in Portland.
They need something to rally behind. There is no simpler way to manipulate people. Sadly, people are not bright enough to realize they are being manipulated. Not much else one could expect out of the scripted NPC lines really.
If you want to drive the women away, start treating them nice. They hate that.
Rome fell for the same reason that Athens fell: it lost its ability to coordinate itself. Diversity was both a symptom and a factor in that decline. As Plato pointed out, unstable republics import foreigners in order to have allies for their tyrants, and this accelerates instability to crash.
Tell me all about the diverse republics in history that have done well by themselves and not crashed shortly after diversity was introduced. Yes, it takes them many centuries to reach The Bitter End, but in the meantime, they become abusive and dystopian places. Is that the future you want?

There are a ton of Nazis running around.
I suspect there are quiet a few more than a ton of Nazis running around, but way less than some politicians would lead us to believe. A ton of Nazis is like what 5-12 Nazis?
Right, but did you consider: when you go to a political event and express yourself and people think you're a nazi... maybe you are one?
Just a thought.
I like it! Very postmodernist! Hell, if people post online that the earth is flat ... maybe it is!. If I say that you're a rapist and a pedophile ... maybe you are! Who needs silly things like facts and evidence; reality is subjective anyway!
By way of Gab.
You're saying that somebody impersonating a nazi and being confused for being a nazi is the same as a bare accusation of being a nazi. That's silly.
If you go to a political rally and impersonate a pedophile, I'm gonna say yes, you almost certainly are one. You would not otherwise have a desire to role-play it!
If I dress up with cat ears and watch Cat Planet Cuties, it is only because I'm a pervert who would totally go furry if anthropomorphic space-alien cat-people landed nearby.
If you dress up as a nazi for Halloween, I'm gonna think you're either a nazi or a total asshole, but if you dress up as a nazi for a political event, I really don't care how tragically naive you are, you're just a nazi and thank goodness for antifa!
If you think that wearing a red bitcoin hat is "dressing up like a Nazi", you're obviously a retarded fascist cunt. Right at home with ANTIFA.
