Having seen the sort of incorrect categories Facebook slotted me into via their data broker partnerships, I wouldn't expect that to be anywhere near 100% accuracy.

I've discovered that Google, Amazon and Netflix all slot me into categories based on searches I've done and items I've looked at in the past. They don't seem to understand the difference between gag searches and a legitimate desire to buy something, which is how Amazon kept trying to sell me a 20-gallon drum of personal lubricant for so long.
