You don't, but it's very unlikely that there were enough noscript users to match the stats. From the post:
"...in all of our years of experience, only about 1-2% of people coming to us have JavaScript disabled, not 80% like these clicks coming from Facebook."
- brador 14y agoIt's a different marketing block. For example, target something for the Reddit.com users and you'll see 90%+ block ads. With facebook granular targetting you could very specifically end up with a target segment with a large proportion of noscript type plugin users. Without more details on their campaign I would not be so quick to place blame purely on bots.
- takluyver 14y agoBut this is about users who click on ads on Facebook. The sort of users who have javascript disabled are going to self-select out of that group pretty strongly. And even among the most technically literate groups, I'd be amazed if you saw 80% use of noscript. So many sites require javascript that it's easier to browse with it enabled.
