‘Like’ing something on FB is entirely different that endorsing a product for your friends, which is what the AD makes it appear.
Too many times I have searched something on Google and then later on in FB low and behold I see an ad whiz by on my timeline pertaining to what I searched earlier on Google.
Taking this to the extreme, if my teenage son searched for Condems on Google and then later see’s the AD on FB and clicks like, do I want the AD to appear with my sons pic endorsing this product?
- kalleboo 13y agoWhy the heck would your son press like on a condom ad?
- cl8ton 13y agoIt was an extreme example hopefully it wouldn’t happen, BUT if it did at least his G’ma, G’pa, aunts, uncles and cousins who are friends with him would at least know his choice of condoms. Which would inevitably lead to the call from them to me letting me know what my son is up to which then leads me to explain a bunch of non transparent FB rules to non technical people.

- grannyg00se 13y ago"‘Like’ing something on FB is entirely different that endorsing a product for your friends, " How? What is it to publicly announce that you like something? That's an endorsement. Why else would you be "liking" something on FB? To privately remind yourself that you like it?
- judk 13y agoYes, that is reqsonaw behavior -- to customize the ads FB shows me.
