Re: Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble

Something that is interesting is that I basically wiped my profile of  
all likes, groups, pages, most personal info, etc. many months ago.   
Yet I still get specific ads targeted at me based on those items.    
They are clearly using archived historical data and not just what your  
current profile is.  Once you've liked something, you should expect  
that info exists in perpetuity and has been sent to the appropriate  
marketing people.  Of course that is no different than anything else  
on the internet, but the ease at which it is done now is troubling.
