looking at my Facebook ad info, Americans For Prosperity was listed 20+ times.
It was under the section of 'advertisers you've interacted with' and it was shocking to see AFP state chapters listed.
I rarely use FB, limit what I post, have 'privacy'/ad options set as tight as possible, and have never interacted with AFP.

Is this part of the Koch-fueled media takeover?
Anyone care to check out their FB ad data to see if this has happened to you?
