I’ve installed a FireFox add-on that blocks
Facebook ads—you know, the things that appear in the right-hand rail that are
the result of web activity tracking cookies.
(Actually, I didn’t quite know what everyone
was talking about when they complain about them until some FireFox extension
kept crashing my browser, so I cleared off everything. Then—whoo, what a load
of crap. So I fished out Adblock Plus and installed it again. Relief!)
But I still get some sponsored “suggestions”,
which I’ve allowed (I think there is a way to expunge them, too, but they don’t
bother me so much), including groups that friends may have joined, etc.
This one, I’m not so sure about:
As it turns out, this shows up every time I
like something from UK Cop Humour. You
know, the suggestion is—if you like UK Cop Humour, you might like these pages.
Well, no, not really. Might want to tweak
your algorithm some, Facebook.
