I realise I’m probably not in a majority here on this one but: I’m not offended or too bothered by being targeted by ads on Facebook.

What I am offended by however is how poor the targeted ads are on Facebook. I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything based on one or even been tempted to.

This ! Looking in from the other side..Im usually appalled at how bad their advertising is from an advertisers point of view. I tried to target ppl for 'broadband options', Thus one might expect the lead to have a house(not own just a roof over his head) , He might liked netflix and streaming and certain modern games. The amount of basically 'homeless ppl' liking the ad is amazing ! Like the bulk genuinely just look like fake profiles !
