I Like Jews, Personally
Facebook Enabled Advertisers to Reach ‘Jew Haters’:
Want to market Nazi memorabilia, or recruit marchers for a far-right rally? Facebook’s self-service ad-buying platform had the right audience for you.
Until this week, when we asked Facebook about it, 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.’”
To test if these ad categories were real, we paid $30 to target those groups with three “promoted posts” — in which a ProPublica article or post was displayed in their news feeds. Facebook approved all three ads within 15 minutes.
As if I needed another reason to stay off Facebook.
Here at Daily Exhaust I can guarantee you’ll find no Jew-hating, or hating of people of any other religion or race.
You will, though, find Microsoft-bashing.
