    Damn - I've got only five blocked.

    There must be a dildo advert that is so subtle neither I nor the ad-blocker can't see it...

      Pop email.

      Plenty of examples in this BBC article - Is your phone listening in? Your stories - BBC News - but Facebook says it isn't them, so that's ok then...

            Nah, you and your data are the product as I said; as soon as someone advertises something to sell to you via your FB data you become the product (advertising is the primary reason behind profiling).
            Still stand by my original quote. It's a bit like the Mary Whitehouse syndrome, you can turn your TV off in the same way you can ignore the ads...
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
