Funny, isn’t it? Last year, Facebook was busted for claiming that in some demographics, their ads could reach more people than there were people. When it comes to the US’s Russia probe, they claim their ads reached far, far fewer people: they initially claimed they reached 10 million, but Jonathan Albright, a researcher at Columbia University’s Tow Center for Digital Journalism, found that they had in fact reached hundreds of millions.
Facebook: fudging since 2004.

Is the general public just wilfully ignorant of how dishonest this company is? Seems like they are getting busted so regularly that it’s a wonder why people stay. As frustrating as it was at the time, it might be healthy if everyone was confronted with that forced “malware scanner” download!
