Something about Facebook?

Makes me suspicious. Does anyone else get on your feed... pictures of disabled children or adults with a message to type Amen to show support and help the person feel better etc? I keep thinking it may be a scam of some sorts? I am skeptical...maybe this is a way to capture your information or something? Love to hear what anyone else thinks.

i think i have seen it when friends or family re-post with a comment. i generally just look at them and dont comment. i dont see it often though.

Those are ads that pay to be there. Sometimes it looks like it's a news feed, usually something provacative or emotional that will entice you to click on it. Every time someone clicks on their link, they are paid & it's usually some type of ad. I stay away from those & have a new blocker that keeps them from grabbing my information. Everyone wants to know your shopping or browsing habits.

Please read the info in this other thread re. ads and updating your privacy settings. Under "Your Advert Preferences" I went into every category and clicked "x" for almost everything. I'm getting very few ads on my feed now.
