Ad blocking

Without some of the blocker tools or Ad block on social media will have their way with your information data. These sites already know how their user behave, which includes which things you search, stories you click on or even which status you like the most. For instance Facebook has a platform called Atlas. Atlas will let advertisers access social media sites like Facebook's data about its users track users on non-Facebook sites and apps. So from the data collected on a users Facebook's account is used against people even if it has nothing to do with Facebook. This is called "people-based marketing". This is very similar to the way Google tracks users from things searched to reach a wide array of sites with ads. When using a site that has Atlas server ads, a user will be giving up more information then they would on Facebook. But Atlas doesn't share their info the same way Facebook does with them. Users information is always being share somehow in order to make money. Even though these social media sites are free of use, these sites sell your information to all other sites your go on.
