That doesn't work on the Facebook app. And then they block you for reporting too many ads. Facebook ads are late 90s era quality. Not to mention fradulent.

Surely, they also get snail mail related to babies. This is not a technology/Facebook problem.
This sucks. I thought "why not install an adblock," but not everyone thinks like that, and that's fair.

Yet another reason to limit Facebook to the browser (a proper browser, too, not a Google Services Client masquerading as a browser that does not let you install adblockers on mobile).

And don't even get started on mobile adblocking, it's still widely uncharted territory. I had to use an altogether new browser on Android, because mobile Chrome doesn't allow ad-blocking plugins. Shocking, I know.
