Facebook to force feed you web ads, whether you like it or not
Found on The Register on Tuesday, 09 August 2016
The new policy calls for the social network to serve up ads regardless of the presence of ad-blocking software, and in exchange give users greater control over their ad preferences to cut down on intrusive or annoying ads.
The social network notes that, as a free service, it has to use the ads to bring in revenues.
Free service? Maybe users don't pay money, but they of course pay with their most private informations, their contacts, their lives. All of which is used by Facebook to make money; so that is not exactly free. However, if you never had an account with that harvester you could not care less.
