How To Remove Your Name and Profile Picture from Facebook's Social Ads

Facebook is constantly evolving, and lately it seems like a bad thing, at least for its users.
First, you had to opt out of Instant Personalization, which shared your personal information with Facebook's partner sites. Then, you had to take drastic measures to secure your home address and mobile number from third-party apps and websites. And now?—Now you need to opt out of Facebook Ads.

Actually, it's not a new thing. Facebook rolled out "Social Ads" a few years back, which allows your name and profile picture to appear in advertisements displayed to your friends. As of right now, this is only relevant to ads that have a direct social connection with you, e.g. when you like a Facebook Page, Event or App (see image at right). And guess what? It's totally legal and stated in their privacy policy:
"We occasionally pair advertisements we serve with relevant information we have about you and your friends to make advertisements more interesting and more tailored to you and your friends. For example, if you connect with your favorite band’s page, we may display your name and profile photo next to an advertisement for that page that is displayed to your friends. We only share the personally identifiable information visible in the social ad with the friend who can see the ad."

Okay, so who cares if one of your friends see your name or photo next to something you liked or discussed? It's not that big of deal, is it? For some, yes. But this isn't the worse thing—the worst thing is Facebook's forthcomingness about their future intentions.
"Facebook does not give third party applications or ad networks the right to use your name or picture in ads. If this is allowed in the future, this setting will govern the usage of your information."
Stating that means they will one day let third-party apps abuse your name and photo, which means you need to take control of your privacy rights NOW—to prevent your likeness to be posted all over Facebook, even if it is only for confirmed friends. If you don't want your name or photo promoting their services in any way, shape or form, follow these steps to opt out of Social Ads (which you probably should have done a long time ago!)

Step 1 Log In

Facebook Updates its Advertising Using Content from Users



Sponsored Stories

Let's face it, the advertisements that are now on Facebook are not as effective as FB's main rival Google and in many cases appear to be random and largely ignored. However, Facebook is looking at ways to change this and the first response to making their advertisements more powerful is to add snippets of what real people have said about a product or service within an advertisement.

How Sponsored Stories Works

As a traditional business on Facebook, if someone "Likes" you (subscribes to your page), you can effectively reach out to this community through posts on a frequent basis. For instance, if you are a local burger joint (let's call it Frank's Burgers) in the neighborhood and a person "Likes" you, you can then send daily posts maybe of the day's special menu or weekly post of entertainment of live music that will be appearing over the weekend. While this is a great way for businesses to reach out to their community, if a person has dozens, hundreds or even thousands of friends which is sometimes the case, your message will get lost quite easily.
