I don’t really use facebook anymore so couldn’t care less; but so happened to log in today to change my password and saw this on my front page.

    this is such an insidious way to stop people from using ad blockers. It’s not like facebook isn’t deliberately making sure these false positives happen.

      If they can tell you when and how many of your friend’s posts were blocked, they could just as easily not block them.

        “they could just as easily present them in a way that wouldn’t be blocked” would be a more accurate way of phrasing it. Facebook is not the one blocking this content - rather, it’s detecting that it has been blocked (clientside)

          youre right, but the lines get blurry. i wouldnt be a bit surprised if facebook literally is blocking the content. just wild speculation ofc.
