Removing facebook adverts for weightlossI keep

  • telling facebook that I don’t need to diet, I’m not fat.
  • asking the adverts to stop harrassing me.

For years I’ve been asking, but Facebook ignores me.  Facebook is targeting advertising and I have set my gender to female so I must be in need of getting thinner because no type of thin is going to be thin-enough for an industry that feeds on the image of women as childlike (small and hairless) sexual objects.

Pfffft

It’s a good job I’m stubborn and opinionated otherwise I’d just cry and diet myself into an early grave because happiness cannot be found in a diet and the pressure to diet wont stop because I get thinner.

    Hey Wendy! I totally agree with you on this one; the promotion of an extreme shape as the norm is wrong, and the sexualisation of child-like forms reaps an unsurprising and sick harvest in society. And of course, as a single fella, I get bombarded with Marriage Bureau advertising and blue pills. Lose, lose, lose. Indigo

    I wonder if some clever IT nerd will invent a code to allow us to register against facebook adverts…gap in the market…anyone?

    I installed this ad-blocking software on my computer and it blocks almost everything, but it doesn’t let any companies track you. I had that “belly fat” queen following me for months till I did this. It’s great.

    Hi Jayne, thanks for dropping by and suggesting ad-blocking software!

    Great idea if I wanted to object to just my recieving the ads – but I want to object to the proliferation and indiscriminate (except targeting women and my brother) provision of the ads. That’s why I tell Facebook who hosts them rather than solve the’problem’ at my end on my computer.
