I have gotten a suggested post from a group called Hoosier Country that pops up front and center every time I have logged into Facebook for about the past week. They are attacks on Mike Braun along the lines of "He outsources jobs to China", etc. Here is an example of what it looks like:
I am not subscribed to any groups at all on FB, let alone anything that would explain why I keep getting these things. I finally got curious as to who this group is, so I googled the first group listed as paying for it, Priorities USA. Here is what I got:
Where do they get their money?
It literally only takes 2 men with money to dictate that I see political propaganda on Facebook every day!
What about teachers on Facebook?I hate Facebook.
Facebook is worse than teachers.

I have been seeing similar ads, but the content is about how 'Mike Braun fired this truck driver for refusing to drive dangerous overtime hours with no sleep" or something to that effect.
This is what Facebook is all about, delivering targeted advertising. I have fewer than 40 "friends" so like 2/3 of my feed is ads. I rarely log in any more bit I do manage my company's buisness page so I have to get on it ocassionally. I freaking hate Facebook.
I also laugh at people that constantly filling out and sharing those stupid surveys that are like, 'which type of 80s movie are you?' Or, 'which super hero best matches your personality?' They are designed specifically to collect personal information to build a profile for targeted ads.
My advice is to stay off Facebook.
