Yup - I do believe that FB is severing their relationship with these data brokers shortly, so unsure if this will continue to be available.
Are they? This would really surprise me- Custom Audiences (FB brand name for the tool that integrates data from 3rd parties like Acxiom, etc.) is VERY powerful and makes FB a whole bunch of money.

My parent sold a place that they had after a letter was put in their letter box, and we were on the brink of doing this when we were looking for a place.
