Facebook
: The Formidable
Times of India ( 20 April ) carries following news :
“
Facebook has
50,000 ways to target you with ads ”
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/facebook-has-50000-ways-to-target-you-with-ads/articleshow/63841167.cms
=============================
How 50,000 ways
?
I suppose the author must have computed the “
Permutations and Combinations “ of the following “ Variable Factors “ mentioned
in the article :
DATA THAT
USER PROVIDES :
* Age / Gender /
Home Address / Friends / Education / Occupation
DATA WHICH Facebook
COLLECTS FROM USER ACTIVITY :
* What vehicle
you own
* Where you
take your vacation
* What Gadgets
you use
* If you are
in relationship or had a break-up
* Who lives in
your house
* Your
political leanings
* Your work
place
* Restaurants
you visit
* Businesses you interact with
* Your online
shopping
* Your Credit
history
* Your budget
for a new home
Just 50,000 ways to target you ?
I get a feeling that the total number of “ Permutations
and Combinations “ run into MILLIONS , if you consider ALL the VARIABLES that I
have listed in my following blogs :
