Wait until you see the page that redacted the word "don't". As in, "Don T." Why would that be a term they targeted??

Lmfao that is so fucking blatantly obvious, holy shit

Edit: this is like the easy mode version of how Facebook tracks you by the trackers your browser doesn’t engage with if you don’t have an account. Holy fuck. There’s a part of me that wants to believe the people doing this couldn’t possibly be this stupid, but then I remember the mental caliber of everyone running the show these days.

This should honestly be a news story in itself. Absolutely no possible justification for redacting the word "don't". No human would have made that redaction. This had to have been done in an automated fashion, specifically to react references to Trump.
