Probably a way better way to spin it. That they were reaching out to the lucrative depression, suicide prevention, and positive body image rackets. Cause they are looking out for your best interests and a good goy wouldn't question it.
Facebook told advertisers it can identify teens feeling 'insecure' and 'worthless' | Technology | The Guardian
'Facebook has detailed information on mood shifts of its young users based on “internal Facebook data” that is not available to the public, the document stated. '
'Facebook showed advertisers how it has the capacity to identify when teenagers feel “insecure”, “worthless” and “need a confidence boost”, according to a leaked documents based on research quietly conducted by the social network. '
'The documents, Facebook said, were based on “research done by Facebook and subsequently shared with an advertiser” and were “intended to help marketers understand how people express themselves”. '
'The Australian reported that the document was prepared by two top Australian executives, David Fernandez and Andy Sinn. '
'Instead, Facebook described the newspaper article as “misleading”, claiming that the company does not “offer tools to target people based on their emotional state”. '
of course they can. with all of the info people feed into it, Facebook knows more about them than they or their friends do, because Facebook is actually paying attention to everything you post, along with any other data it can gather.

They can identify blasphemers for the Pakistani government too.... Any good that comes from this is overshadowed by their work as thought police.
