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.

Regarding Fan-Pages on Facebook you - and others - might be interested: The European Court ruled this week that they are deemed as "data processing agents" in technical and responsible ways in cooperation with Facebook.
Meaning, a fan-page which does not inform and ask for consent its subscribers of the various data processing tools the page uses, they are violating the General Data Protection Regulation.
That Facebook's system doesn't offer this particular confirmation of consent for a subscriber doesn't mean the Page administrator, i.e. you, are not responsible. You still are.
The
ruling this week dealt with a German individual pre-GDPR-case against the fanpage of a rather unimportant regional organisation.
Now, don't shout in despair about such a ruling. What it should mobilize you and your business to do is to ask/force Facebook to give you the system tool for asking for consent. And/or also a tool to disable the data collection and processing of all or parts of the offered parameters.
Remember, you don't even have the tool to keep EU-users out of your fanpage. So you ARE liable for GDPR-violations, whether or not you are located in the EU.
Force Facebook. Ask them to comply with the effing law. Ask them to stop making YOU a criminal.
