edit dont know why this got downvoted, it was a legit question because everyone knows who the primary age group of votes is, so Im wondering if there is data on age demographics of actual FB use.
You're probably right, but until recently that was also the people most likely to vote. [1] So going after your core demographic who can be found on one site makes sense. You said it yourself: younger people are spread across many different social media platforms. I assume that means reaching them as a whole requires more time, effort and expense than buying ads on Facebook.

Be cognizant of your bubble. All of my friends (aka people I actually regularly interact with) don't ever use FB anymore, but a quick glance at my FB feed shows that a huge population of people from my high school (people in their mid-to-late 20s), mostly the ones I haven't interacted with in years, still use it heavily.
Basically, FB was the first massive social network, and so far, nothing better has come along (that has enough membership to entice people away).
FB has >1 billion real users. So by the simplest arithmetic, the vast majority of its users cannot be American, regardless of age.
And I say that as a European.
Or are we saying that foreign users are more naive and less likely to value privacy? I doubt that that racist supposition is true, but respect your opinion and your forthcoming documentation proving it.
You mean...Facebook Messenger?
I.e., the demo majority[0] and the only ones who actually vote.
Seems pretty solid.
