It's the perfect crime!

Clinton lawyer Marc Elias represented Facebook in 2011 when it got itself exempted from the requirement that ads contain info about who paid for them.
In reality, I don't think those fakes actually peruse, though the counters go up as a result. FB is not so dumb as to not have "pretend proof," however, IMHO. Advertisers beware! Decisions on whether advertising dollars are we spent on FB need to be on the basis of increased revenue, not vaprous hit counts that often may mean nothing at all (other than that FB's cash registers have rung).
All our pets have FB accounts.
I guess now they will be reimbursing advertisers for inflated numbers.
If print media inflate their circulation numbers to increase ad revenues, it’s a criminal fraud. I don’t know how this is any different.
>>The message does seem to be that they assumed the rules didn’t apply to FB, Twitter, and Google.
Given they were operating at the time under an Obama Just-us Department, and expected to then be under a Clinton one, why would they assume the rules did apply to them?
What you’re saying is that the advertising is priced on audience size rather than views, and that in turn is based on historic perusals, which FB manipulates. Then size is viewed as a proxy for views, which in turn is used as a proxy for conversion to sales.
Once such a relation has been established, it can be gamed for revenue, until advertisers realize their returns are dropping and it gets repriced.
Sure they might just be “virtual users”.
But there is no denying that they are loyal and reliable democrat voters too.
This is news.What % of google and all other ISP’s account bogus.
I can speak for 1 multimillionth if thats a word, on FB
I get daily friend requests from people, usually attractive women, that I don’t know. When i look at their friends, it usually has no other friends. I don’t accept friend requests from people I don’t know and have only a few hundred friends.
It's the perfect crime!
a stupid question, admittedly, but why would anyone create or use a fake account? i am obviously missing something important here....? thanks!
It was all for naught as I got bored with the whole concept. I can count my number of close friends on one hand and if I want to visit, I just pick up the phone.
There are privacy settings.
I’d like to know how many Fakebook users are actually dead. I mean how would you make any distinctions between actime accounts, light users and all-the-rest.
A buddy of mine has like 3 FB accounts. I’m guessing he forgets his password and just starts over.
I am pretty sure that old-school patriot, leftist pride and Damocles aren’t real names of people, yet they are aliases on Facebook.
ANd why Cant my Cat have its own Fakebook acct???
maybe b/c I dont have a Cat. : P
I have a provocateur account. It if very useful. But it is not fake, the comments are real. Actually the identity is more real than pResident Obola’s.
My best friend died 4 years ago and still has an active account, two weeks ago I got a notice of his birthday. How do you get those accounts deactivated?
