If you use Adblock Plus, NoScript, and Hostsman, you will never see an ad that violates your privacy.

If everyone used them a lot of people here would not make a living.
Incidentally, with Facebook ads, they are being served from their own server, so it would be easy enough to work around Ad Blockers.

their ads are easily identifiable with css classes so I think you could block them pretty easily.

If you never use the Internet, you will never see an ad that violates your privacy.
However, that's not the point or a solution. The point is these companies do whatever they want disregarding completely users rights and they'll keep doing it, to stop the trend we need fines, massive fines. Nowadays all of these companies want to collect users data without any regard to users rights, when they're caught they just say "Sorry, it was a mistake" and get away with it. Huge fines, that's what they deserve and the way to stop them for good.

Alcoholico, supposedly you can fine CIA data mining operation (Facebook) for violating your privacy? :)
You need to stand up and fight for yourselves...the heck is wrong with this country?

I would rather sites like Facebook not sell information to ad companies rather than everyone on the web block ads. Without ads we would have a subscription based web.

I don't think the public has a problem with ads per se.
It just that the public no longer trust publishers and ad providers to respect their privacy and thus will no longer play the game any longer.
Why do think that these ad blocking programs, Tor, and account deletions on Facebook exist?

@Chandler, that is true for the moment, but if ad blocking because widespread they could easily change that.
