Why did I get a "Sex Offender Warning" suggested post on Facebook? - Dabomb - 11-13-2013 09:25 PM
I thought that you usually got suggested posts according to what you had been viewing in other tabs and websites. However, I have NOT been looking at or for anything even slightly sexually offensive. I just don't know why I got this suggested post on Facebook...
PS I've added a picture of the "suggested post"

Don't pay attention to it. FB's ad policy is bizarre and completely unrelated to your interests and content. I keep seeing ads for boob enhancements and truck sales, neither of which interest me.

When people have a few moments, they should click on those ads. The reason why Gmail and other services are free is that advertisers pay money to Google to place their ads on your pages. They get money when you click on them, then they provide you with this free service.
Someday the world is going to catch on that this FB and other ad phenomenon isn't as lucrative as they think. Many companies have hired marketing people to maintain their twitter, FB and other social media sites but those methods don't really bring in new money. Thousands of people will "like" a site or page or product just so they can get the coupon or freebie that is being offered. THey don't usually become repeat or new customers.
Facebook is realizing this and is now selling your personal data so that the marketers can figure out new ways to capitalize on you. It is all money which doesn't exist.
