Thread: Facebook Tracks Your Political View

If you'd like to check where Facebook thinks you stand on politics, take the following steps:

Go to your settings –> ads –> your information –> your categories –> and look at the category of US politics

Categories include very liberal, liberal, moderate, conservative or very conservative.

There is no such thing in my categories. Not even a Norwegian version of the same.

I think they classify all Norwegians as "socialist".

ok

Yep. Very conservative. It appears you can delete the stuff in categories. Although this may be due to a question I answered somewhere before in FB. Not sure. I may have told it I was very conservative at some point.

I don't think it's that big a deal.. it's in the "ads" category, they're just trying to find stuff I'll buy.

I never do though.

Expats don't seem to have any politics. This shows that Facebook really is that stupid. I think I like it that way. I wonder if I'll have a political category when I visit the US in the summer.

The preferences for political persuasion my not show up in different countries due to privacy laws.

So does anyone dare post their "political status according to Facebook" ?
