Awesome script! I'm watching it run now :)

Question, could someone explain the exact impact this would have for Facebook & a person's experience with ads?

Facebook then refines what the third-parties have with what Facebook has (enriches this coarse data with rich psychographic data that only Facebook has)

This cuts off that relationship
