9. An Open Letter to Facebook

[Language warning.]

Dear Facebook,

I had a late miscarriage less than a week ago (which I also announced on your data-mining platform, btw) and I’m still seeing baby-related ads pop up regularly in my feed.

I know that it’s my own fault for using Facebook, but any platform’s use of targeted advertising is indicative of support for a morally corrupt capitalist system (from which you directly profit). I can handle being given ads targeting more superficial shit like my age, gender, and location, but my health status is another method entirely.

Even worse is when your algorithm takes ages to update that aforementioned health status and propagate more appropriate results. Seriously. If you’re gonna do it, at least do it properly, you miserable carnival of bastards.

Go fuck yourself.

Sorry not sorry,

Viv
