If you don’t know, now you know
Our digital world is constantly changing to better serve us. Are you keeping up? If you’re having trouble staying on top of the latest news, launches, or revised regulations, stay with me. I promise to make it short and sweet so you can get back to living in the present.
Transparency is the BEST policy
Facebook has officially said sayonara to “dark posts” with the use of transparency tools. If you aren’t familiar with what a dark posts is, let us break it down for you. Have you ever googled a product that you were interested in buying? Do you see said product all over your Facebook newsfeed now?
Well, this is an example of a dark post, also known as a targeted ad. These ads are not published the same as a boosted or organic post, instead they show up as “sponsored” content in feeds of users who have been specifically targeted. Luckily for us, we can now see what ads companies/influencers are running by simply going to their page and clicking on the “Info and Ads” tool found in the left hand column. The decision to remove dark posts from the popular social media platform came after the Russian interference in past political elections.
The moment we’ve all been waiting for …
