#2> If you are an Instagram user and you would like to see which ad categories the platform has assigned to you, go to the settings menu in the app, then follow this path: Security / Access Data / Ads / Ads Interest.
If the BBC wanted to be helpful, they could teach how to install uBlock Origin, instead of how to help corporate when their spying fails.

To be fair, as much as it doesn't help things, it is entertaining to see what Instagram thinks I like and is a feature I didn't know existed. I recently un-followed everyone besides the people I know IRL (so no more celebs, memes and instachicks) and, combined with the obfuscation software I use now, the ads suggestions are all over the place. For a male, 20-something year old nerdy engineer I apparently have a real love of all things 'comsmetics, hair products, spas, dresses, beauty, and tattoos'!
