“In 2017, ‘a confidential doc is leaked that reveals Facebook offering advertisers the opportunity to target 13-to-17yos across platforms during moments of psychological vulnerability when they feel ‘worthless,’ ‘insecure,’ ‘stressed,’ ‘defeated,’ ‘anxious,’ ‘stupid,’ ‘useless’ & ‘like a failure.’ Or target them when worried about their bodies & thinking of losing weight.’

They knew when a teen deleted a selfie & would bombard her w beauty ads, assuming she deleted it bc she felt ugly.” /1

@Sheril One of the people responsible for this went on to work on "behavioural systems at riot games." Responsible for an online game with hundreds of millions of players, the game would survey users and ask if they felt happy, their age, and if they have been a victim of bullying, they would then match rule-breaking and verbally abusive players with those who answered yes and harvest the data outcomes to be sold for psychological research.
