I think there's a huge difference between "statements are being cherry picked" and Bosworth, a major confidant to Zuckerberg, stating that "[I]nterest precision in the US is only 41%—that means that more than half the time we’re showing ads to someone other than the advertisers’ intended audience". I appreciate that you're pointing out the movement du jour against Facebook, but here it looks cut and dry to me.
