I am just waiting for a more powerful entity like Google or Facebook to take on Ad-block, that's when it'll get really interesting. I'm guessing Facebook is just testing the waters for now by taking you on, and demanding you to take down ad-blocking features for now.
edit: I just read in your article:
I asked about both of these cases, as examples, and I
was told by the person at Facebook that she was not
aware of these apps or Pages, but would check into them.
They don't know about Ad-block! That is just so rich.

Google ads are whitelisted from adblocking.
