The Facebook Ads Teens Aren't Supposed To See 111
schwit1 writes in with this story about Facbook's questionable ads including webcam modeling and diet drugs. "Sophie Bean, 14, of Sequim, Wash., said she was thought she was 'liking' a Facebook ad related to fashion modeling. Instead, it promoted a Facebook page that recruited adult webcam models. 'I just thought it was for modeling, and I'm interested in that, and I thought it would help me out,' Sophie said. Sophie wasn't the only teen connecting with the page, which Facebook statistics show is most popular with users 13 to 17. Clicking on it didn't pull the teens into nude webcam modeling, but did mean they would receive the page's updates and could be mentioned in future versions of the ad."

Adblock to the rescue! (And fuck Facebook. Hope they go bankrupt.)
You have the option to leave if you want to.

I have AdBlock set to block a couple of facebook domains wholesale ... that sped up my browser quite noticeably.
