What's wrong with ads? Facebook costs money and effort to produce for its users to enjoy.

I don't use FB, but people who do use presumably enjoy it.



Because Facebook's ads require a panopticon of surveillance across every page with a FB like button in order to function in current form.

People are sending much more data to facebook than they realize, and are typically upset when they learn the scope of facebooks dragnet.

If Facebook only used data from the Facebook platform itself (and none of their web of acquired companies), I think people would have much fewer objections to the tracking.
