Facebook ads and unwanted feeds driving me mad!

andygb

I don't use Facebook very much, and I only have seven friends - they are REAL friends and relations.
However, over the past year I have been getting unwanted ads from every source you could think of, and posts appearing from Outside TV, Red Emprendeverde, Highways England, Unicef etc.
I don't want any of this, didn't ask for it, but don't seem to be able to get rid of it.
It is basically spamming, so can it be stopped?

Who has FAKE friends and relations on their Facebook? :rotfl:

Regarding the ads, well that's how they make their money.

There is a button which you can hide or Why Am I Seeing This Add you click and it gets rid of them. BUT, if you click too many you get a message telling you that you are abusing the system.:rotfl:

I get ads for companies in the US! Selling kitchens etc.

Why not try Facebook Purity. It's a third party program which I have used for several years with great success:
