Coxford_lou Posted 28 February, 2015 Share Posted 28 February, 2015 So in the latest version of the app, algorithm's have decided I'm interested in Adam Lallana, so I've got his face and several articles smugly reporting on the Liverpool game, in my face every time I open it. Which extends my ****ed offness about that game, just when I though I was getting over it. Anyone else have this? Is there any way I can get rid? Grrrr.

They must have got this information from somewhere. I find that spooky and deeply disturbing, and I'm not even on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxford_lou Posted 28 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 28 February, 2015 They must have got this information from somewhere. I find that spooky and deeply disturbing, and I'm not even on Facebook. It's because I've liked Southampton FC page. So silly algorithm thinks I'm interested in everything related to Southampton, but isn't smart enough to realise I don't want to see a game we lost or an ex player I'm annoyed with, staring me in the face. And because FB now enforce panels like this on us (rather than let us choose what we want too see) it means there's no avoiding it. Other sports fans must have the same problem. They're going to be turning a lot of people off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 28 February, 2015 Share Posted 28 February, 2015 Can you go into 'edit' and unfollow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxford_lou Posted 28 February, 2015 Author Share Posted 28 February, 2015 Can you go into 'edit' and unfollow? But unfollow what? I don't want to unfollow Southampton. And I can't seem to remove the panel. Have you got the same version of FB as me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeintheslowlane Posted 28 February, 2015 Share Posted 28 February, 2015 Have a look at this free download: https://www.facebook.com/bookfacepurity?pnref=lhc Facebook don't want you to use it hence it's called Fluff Busting Purity and not Facebook Purity (FB threatened to sue). It allows you to tailor what you see on your Facebook page. It works in all the normal computer Internet browsers...not sure about smart phones...I don't own one.

Have you got the same version of FB as me? Aah - are you talking about the panel on the right hand side of the page? If so, I've just tested my side panel and in the top right hand corner of each advert there's a x that, if you click on it, gives you the option to never see that ad again. Don't have the problem on my iPhone though. Think I'll try the link suggested above though because I hate FaceBook thinking for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, boxes on the right side, but I don't have an option to close I did an upgrade recently, so may be on a newer version than you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
