So whilst I welcome this action from Facebook, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
I now ask of @UKLabour @LibDems @Conservatives and others - what are YOU doing to prevent the abuse of personal data within your own institutions?
All eyes on you now. Your move.

Do politicians only point the finger at social media (and their ads) because it draws heat away from political parties?
Do voters only care about profiling and manipulation that's right in front of their eyes?

Most voters will never see this profile of them. But it's there, and it defines their relationship with UK political parties.
This is the foundation of their attempts to persuade and manipulate voters - not social media. Anyway, who do you think commissions the ads?

Many UK political parties collect, calculate and purchase statistical inferences - "data"- (often wildly inaccurate) about UK voters.
Most have a unique political profile for each voter.
This feeds into their communication, policy and voter engagement strategies.

This is a step in the right direction, particularly on voter suppression.
However this should serve as a timely reminder that political profiling does not just happen on social media.
Political parties themselves have responsibilities too.
