To my mind it's the price of publically 'liking' something. With that in mind, I only 'like' things that I would be happy to market to my friends.

- bryanlarsen 14y agoThe problem is not just that Facebook is reposting one of your likes, it's that they're associating your like with a related item. The OP liked one article on vice.com, and now Facebook is promoting that he liked something "related" to penis shaped waffles.
- zevyoura 14y agoSorry, I was unclear about what I meant by 'market to my friends.' What I intended to communicate was that I only like entities that I would trust to market to my friends responsibly. I would never like a site like Vice because I know that they promote NSFW and lowbrow content for pageviews, and I don't want to be associated with that. On the other hand, I'm fine with liking bands that I know the spirit of, or small local businesses that I trust.

I believe it's possible to turn off under "ads and friends" here: http://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads§ion=social&view http://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads§ion=social&... but you never can be too sure with Facebook
- stephengillie 14y agoHave you manually retroactively disliked things you liked years ago, before policy changes?
- danielhunt 14y agoI have, and do so regularly. I'm hoping and wishing for something better than Facebook to come along so I can jump ship, because of things like this.
- newman314 14y agoIs there an app that can go through and unlike all? I don't care enough about liking something to have FB use it this way.
