Just spent 20 valuable minutes blocking ads from all the random companies, political campaigns, and celebrities who've somehow gotten hold of my contact information and added me to their list. Americans for Prosperity had me on their list for ~30 states, and that's just one of scores of organizations that I've absolutely never dealt with or wanted to provide my information. What I want to know is WHO sold/shared my information to these organizations in the first place. I'd also love for FB to give me to option to hide all their ads without clicking on every.single.one (again, there were hundreds of them...)!
