Facebook metrics now show main users now are women with children in the 32-44 age group. That figure is more or less reflected in the followers of the page I manage for work....84% middle aged women wiht kids.

Business pages are a lot different to personal pages, they record a lot of data on your users, where they click, how long they look for and what else they look at........pretty crazy really that this info is so easily farmed and passed on.

I once went to a data mining workshop that was sold as ‘use the internet to increase sales’ workshop........let’s just say after attending that I will never use a public wifi service again......shocking the amount of info you give them access to by clicking that ‘I agree’ button to start your access
Indeed - this is why I always set our phones and tablets to ASK which network to join, rather than auto-joining etc. It let's me opt out. I have not used a free wifi in perhaps 4 years - no Maccas, no Target, no Ikea...I use our mobile data or home wifi only.
