Great, just another way to piss on consumers. We can only hope ad-blockers keep up.
It's a constant cat and mouse game between ad companies and websites and tools for removing said ads. I've noticed that websites that depend a lot if not mostly on ad revenue get sneaky with embedded videos on their sites that Ad Blocker Plus misses. I when I come across a website that has a bunch of crap spamming up my computer, I vote with my mouse click finger and don't ever visit it again.
Regarding Facebook, I continue to be at a loss as to why so many allow their privacy and personal lives to be abused by such a wicked monster that in my opinion is out of control. Well no, it's not just my opinion. It's the opinion of the DOJ, FTC, FBI, and SEC who all four are investigating Facebook for possible user privacy violations.
By the way this reminds me of the scenes in Minority Report where Tom Cruise's character sees billboard type ads tailored just for him while walking around in public. Are we far from governments mind reading us and sending us to prison if they see a thought they do not like? We are already halfway there with some "activist" groups and politicians labeling speech they do not agree with as "hate speech" and want to make it a crime. Case in point? The phrase "illegal alien."
