Everyone was up in arms and complained about it and rightfully so, that virus took forever to get off my computer, I spent countless hours tracking down the bastards that pushed that virus onto my computer which would launch one pop up after another. However, advertisers loved them because they worked until pop up blockers were introduced into the market, then we had to deal with pop unders and still do to a certain degree. Typically you can tell if a website is struggling if you get a pop under creeping through. I agree that the privacy terms and conditions that Facebook has forced down our throat has definitely covered them with the best CYA terms I have ever read, this invasion of privacy will either continue or it will slow down, the number one determining factor will be if the advertisers can attribute a strong ROI from these FB campaigns. Right now FB traffic isn't considered the best but it converts for certain advertisers. I would say unless you want to pay a monthly fee for your FB account this will be something that both you and myself will have to deal with!
