Thanks for the heads up! Now they can't pry into my downloaded aps or searches, etc. Also deleted all my categories down to 'birthday in November' and my interests are psychedelic rock and death metal. Try matching ads for that, website I only use for sending links.

"Deleting" them probably only makes them invisible to you.

Probably both. It would be foolish of them to throw away data they can potentially sell.

Nah, fb just assuming for some reason. I dunno why.

One of the examples of the ads they apparently show to black people was one for Red Hot hot sauce that showed it and a basket of chicken wings in front of a football field.

I have liked various pages over the years...I assumed something musical would have been included as that's probably the most personal information I post by and large. 

And yeah...i'm not really displeased. I'm glad my the bookface ignores my inner workings to instead think random people are black.
