The issue is that they forged an ad from someone on the friend list,

Since I delete cookies after the session I must have still had the
facebook session going when I did that Ebay transaction. I have been
careful not to do anything else when I am in facebook and I have not
seen anything like it since.
I am surprised that you think this corporation has the right to snoop
on it's customers for profit. I thought corporate profits were evil.

BTW talking about privacy, have you seen the reports coming from NSA
leakers that the reason they do not really have the smoking gun on the
russian hacks of the DNC is they think it was really an inside job.
There may have been a hack but disgruntled DNC people may have leaked
some if not all of the Emails.
Considering how "leaky" the whole political process has become, I bet
the truth is somewhere in the middle.



The various shenanigans that take place on Facebook don't bother me very
much. I use a Facebook filtering system that works pretty well for many
of its annoyances. If there is a mysterious connection between Facebook
and eBay, and, horrors, some sort of ad was generated...well...no biggie.

I don't really care if anyone know I bought a lap top battery but
faking an ad from a 3d person from it might be troubling to some.
The connection was not between Ebay and facebook. It was from random
cookies FB sniffed from my machine. (the only place it could have come
from)
You do seem to be more interested in privacy than me tho since you
post here under the name of a homicidal maniac and not your real name
bouncing off on an East German server.

I'm not really watching the Hillary-DNC email saga anymore.
