Can't run FB ads on your own profile?

No problem.

Here's how you use a virtual browser to run ads safely on someone else's FB account.

** Thread **

In order for this to work, you need to have permission from someone to use their FB profile.

Whether that's a friend/family of yours or some random guy/gal you pay.

Because you'll need the login information to their FB profile.

Just a heads up.
A virtual browser is the best solution I've found for this.

A remote access tool like Splashtop is an alternative option but the user has to have their computer on if you want to access it.
This can create a bunch of headaches which is why I prefer to use a virtual browser.

It allows you to access the user's computer alongside them so you're able to log on whenever you like no matter if the user is using their computer or not.
I'm sure there are a bunch of options for virtual browsers but I use Multilogin ==> https://t.co/RF6s0Mto8f

99% of you will be fine with the Solo package which is around $100 a month.

Small price to pay, if this is the only option you have to run ads.
Then you'll need to go to https://t.co/MDws35jji9 and purchase the micro package.

This should be a sufficient amount of data for most of you if you're just going to be using ads manager.
After creating an account, set up your proxy.

You'll need to use the username/password later to setup the profile in ML.
Last step before we start setting up the profile in ML.

Go onto the user's computer you'll be running the ads from and download the chrome extension below.

Then download their cookies and send them to yourself.
Now, download and open ML on your computer.

Press the 'Create New' button in the top left hand corner.

Give the profile a name and select the operating system.

Then click on 'Edit proxy settings' 👇
Select 'HTTP Proxy'.

Type in 'https://t.co/rOojGJ5dJy' for the IP/host and 10000 for the port.

Then type in your username and password from smart proxy that I mentioned earlier in the thread.
You're all set to create the profile now.

After it's made, click the 3 dots next to the 'Start' button.

Click 'Cookie Import' and upload the excel doc.

And voila, you're good to start using this virtual browser to access their facebook account.
Hope this thread can help some of you run ads after getting your personal FB profile banned.

Reading this article, the story sounds pretty wild. But I spent a weird amount of time with Martin Shkreli, and I’m not surprised the journalist fell in love w him

A few years back my team built an app called Blab. It was like clubhouse before clubhouse.


When he first joined the app I had no idea who he was. I just saw that his live streams instantly had 3-4K viewers. More than anyone on our tiny platform.

I googled him and it came up: “Martin Shkreli, most hated man in America”

I assumed he was bad news

And he was... but also he wasn’t.

He was a douchebag, but he was in on the joke. He was a dick, but he was also very entertaining.

In the mornings he would live stream himself analyzing stocks or walking through drug discovery pathways.

In the afternoon he’d let people call in and debate him live on air. A CNN reporter tried to get him to go on TV, he refused, and said debate me here on Blab, no edits, no tv time limits.

At night he’d host late night convos - and eventually fall asleep on cam

The guy was a pain in the ass but man he drove traffic.

We had big celebs like Tony Robbins, the Jonas brothers etc... he outperformed them all.

At one point he was bringing in 100k users per month directly to his channel. And Bc he was so entertaining, they stuck.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
