    Found out that Facebook turned back on the "Off-Facebook Activity" without my permission. I'm SUPER pissed about that. Ad block stopped working and I noticed all the ads were geared towards stuff I've purchased or seen. These companies are so damn corrupt and I want to see them go down so bad.

    At this point just delete Facebook. They won't stop until we stop using the platform

    I found this video when searching Google on this topic. I immediately switched to it to get the scoop and stop this madness. Unfortunately, I stopped the video as you were showing what to do. I couldn’t keep up. You talked and switched screens so fast, there was no way I could follow. Advice from someone who gives lectures, slow down… and if you have a video to share, use a symbol to denote what option you’re taking. A colored arrow works incredibly well. Just saying….

    If you look carefully, Facebook says they are STILL tracking all of your internet activity even after you change those settings, you just don't get to see it anymore.

      True but it will be disconnected from the account, i.e. anonymous. However, they could pretty easily re-connect it to your account based on just a few pieces of data

    I'm so pissed right now. I followed the directions and literally, FB is watching everything I am doing on my phone and at home. For the last 15 minutes, I have been turning off the future active. What get my goat even worse is my electric company is in here? Like wtf?

    Thank you very much for this! Months ago I was wondering how and why those ads were showing up in my feed lol. Now I know. However, I also realized after turning them off that sometimes I actually enjoyed some of those ads lol. They made me aware of certain products and services I didn't know existed.
    So people, consider that also before turning yours off! I just shared this video on 2 of my social media profiles.
