Well, I used to scrape audiences from open groups in order to get extremely targeted segments. That works.

Just in case someone else thinks of doing this; it's totally against the Facebook Ad Guidelines

There's other ways of doing exactly that which maintain user privacy and are within the guidelines though.

Yes, but via API (or 3rd party using the API) only.
