Anyone got a Facebook Suggested filter that actually works?

I actually got a notice like this several months ago even before YouTube did theirs.

If anything, Facebook's quite infamous for trying to combat and blockers in general. I remember back then when they obfuscated their web layout so much that it got tricky for some to filter or block sponsored or recommended content.

I don't care for Facebook one bit... but it's alarming to see ANOTHER platform trying to block adblockers. First YouTube, then APKMirror, and now Facebook. Great... can't wait to enter the adblocker blocking web era. Fucking Google, always making shit worse.

I have started seeing anti adblockers banners since last year or two way before YouTube started blocking adblockers.

I love how both Meta and YT will Barbara Streisand Ad Blockers into the spotlight. Most people do not use ad blockers and all these News will make them more aware of it.

Oh no! I'll have to keep on not using Facebook.

Since Facebook was blocked by roscomnadzor nobody miss it. This is how bad it was.

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To be fair, what is roscomnadzor and why do I care if it blocked Facebook?
