To me this is very simple, if someone installs an ad or tracking blocker then they are explicitly withdrawing consent, there is absolutely no ambiguity about it. Doing it anyway or de-anonymising them or anything else is impossible to do without equally explicitly knowing that you are violating consent. And every Facebook employee must know it.
- clarkenheim 7y agoYou gave consent to see ads when you signed up. Why would the presence of an ad blocker withdraw that consent?
- goatinaboat 7y agoBecause GDPR states that consent can be withdrawn at any time, and that provision of services can not be tied to consent. That’s the law here in Wales.

Though personalization of this advertisement requires processing of the PII, and thus it is supposed to be regulated. Facebook UI is full of dark patterns, but it is possible to withdraw consent through settings: www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/
