Facebook is going to start forcing ads to appear for all users of its desktop website, even if they use ad-blocking software. The social network said on Tuesday that it will change the way advertising is loaded into its desktop website to make its ad units considerably more difficult for ad blockers to detect. “Facebook is ad-supported. Ads are a part of the Facebook experience; they’re not a tack on,” said Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, vice president of Facebook’s ads and business platform.

Maybe not illegal to the letter (latest paid for interpretation) of the law but a dick move nonetheless... And just like we think people who murder other people are dicks and lock them up for their dickishness, the same should be done to anyone aiding and abetting FB.
