    Oh come on since when are the welcome ads. If facebook served welcome ads they wouldn't have to split the word sponsored into a bunch of different divs to make it harder for adblockers to detect...

    I also have concerns about encouraging people to give friends' and relatives' personal information to a stranger on the internet who will use it to spam them with likely unwelcome ads

    Oh come on since when are the welcome ads. If facebook served welcome ads they wouldn't have to split the word sponsored into a bunch of different divs to make it harder for adblockers to detect it.

    Also this "hyper targeted ads onto people you know thing" reminds me a bit of https://ghostinfluence.com/the-ultimate-retaliation-pranking-my-roommate-with-targeted-facebook-ads/

    Did I miss something big? As far as I remember no one has actually engaged Venezuela militarily. I remember there being talks about it being an option, but not that anyone actually did it.

    The political intolerance towards the Venezuelan Bolivarian model and the desires for our immense oil resources, minerals, and other great riches, has prompted an international coalition headed by the US government to commit the serious insanity of militarily attacking Venezuela under the false excuse of a non-existent humanitarian crisis.
