Summary | Facebook is one of the biggest advertising platforms world-wide. It lists target groups for advertisers to choose from. One of those groups used to be "Jew Haters". Facebook removed the target group saying that they will do a better job at curating users into appropriate target groups based on how they position themselves in their profiles.

Summary | Thousands of trolls out there are pretending to be someone else. They spread fake news and write fake texts in exchange of some money. For instance, Russian people were paid by their government in order to pretend to be Trump's supporters. In China, the practice is common; the government pays people to manipulate social media. The article lists other examples such as Russia, Ukraine, Israel, the UK, North and South Korea, and Turkey.
