I also think Facebook cannot win this. What if someone makes a plugin that, on top of removing the Ad, also sometimes virtually clicks it (without the browser actually showing the Ad page) thereby completely ruining any way of knowing who really clicked the Ad, hurting the advertiser instead of Facebook?
