Google searches ending up in facebook ads?

[Matt H]

Ok, so 4 times now, I have searched for an item on Google on my android phone. The last one was an angle grinder from home depot. Facebook has brought up ads all 4 times of the exact item I searched for through Google. I don't see any permissions allowing Facebook to review my search history, so how is this possible?

that's totally awesome! XD

(i was wondering when they'd start being more blatantly obvious about that kind of thing -- thanks edward snowden!) XD

There's a relevant Demotivational Poster titled "Facebook & You" that seems apropos: the caption reads

"If you're not paying for it, you're not the customer. You're the product being sold."

check it out. XD
