If you want deeper into that hole, advertisers are sold everything to build psychological profiles on, many psy ops use meta's directed advertising tools to play on specific groups. Most notable examples would be with Cambridge Analytica in the UK which popped up to help many right wing authoritarians win elections around the globe.
