Facebook ads to tell your friends about your latest breast enlargement
The progressive activists at MoveOn.org have launched a protest against the Facebook ads that tell your friends what you're buying online. Since the story broke on News.com, Facebook PR has responded. And MoveOn has responded in kind. Skip the canned statements and check out MoveOn's protest page on Facebook and bearing witness to the awkward situations users claim Facebook's ads have put them into.
Take poor Joe Shaw from UC-Davis for example. "I bought some 'enlargement' pills online," he writes in the group's forum. "The next thing you know, boom, it shows up on my news-feed for all my friends to see. The worst part about it: they were breast-enlargement pills!" What a pickle!
