Facebook helped advertisers target teens who feel “worthless”
“Facebook's algorithms can determine, and allow advertisers to pinpoint, ‘moments when young people need a confidence boost.’”
Can estimate when teens feel “worthless,” “insecure,” “defeated,” “anxious,” “silly,” “useless,” “stupid,” “overwhelmed,” “stressed,” and “a failure.”

@aral Wasn't there this big story a while ago about some retailer's algorithm being so sophisticated they could predict pregnancy and send mailers out for maternity items before the customer even realized they were pregnant?
@Trystfox Yeah, that was Target and the data/algorithms they have are toys compared to Facebook/Google's trove.
