Above: Ad on left served to Facebook users with liberal profiles. On right, ad served to more conservative users.
Liberals on Facebook are given one picture of ExxonMobil. To them, the multibillion-dollar oil giant sells itself as turning over a new leaf, exploring “carbon capture” techniques that put carbon back into the ground.
If you’re a conservative, Exxon has a very different message: “The oil and gas industry is THE engine that powers America’s economy,” reads one ad targeted at conservatives. “Help us make sure unnecessary regulations don’t slow energy growth.”
The Markup found 18 Exxon ads on Facebook targeted to political liberals and 15 to conservatives many with messages implying a contradictory attitude toward the urgency of adapting to climate change. The ads and information about their targeting came from the Ad Observatory at NYU’s Cybersecurity for Democracy project.

This image shows the study participant performing a squatting activity with different prosthetic devices. When the participant used his daily prosthesis (left picture) he had a limited range of motion and had to bend his back significantly to lift objects off the ground. When using a neural controlled prosthetic ankle (right picture) he was able to voluntarily control his prosthesis ankle joint force and angle and keep a healthy posture while lifting weight from the ground.

RALEIGH – A recent case study from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill demonstrates that, with training, neural control of a powered prosthetic ankle can restore a wide range of abilities, including standing on very challenging surfaces and squatting. The researchers are currently working with a larger group of study participants to see how broadly applicable the findings may be.
