The company said it has begun offering “more powerful tools” that let users control the content of advertisements they see, so ads can be tuned toward their interests. This is not unlike the Trending Now news segment, which will show you more articles based on the ones you’ve shown interest in in the past.

“We’ve designed our ad formats, ad performance and controls to address the underlying reasons people have turned to ad blocking software. When we asked people about why they used ad blocking software, the primary reason we heard was to stop annoying, disruptive ads. As we offer people more powerful controls, we’ll also begin showing ads on Facebook desktop for people who currently use ad blocking software,” it wrote.

Also commenting on the issue Bosworth told the Wall Street Journal that the issue is a matter of principle.

Facebook is ad-supported. Ads are a part of the Facebook experience; they’re not a tack on,” he said. “This isn’t motivated by inventory; it’s not an opportunity for Facebook from that perspective. We’re doing it more for the principle of the thing. We want to help lead the discussion on this.”
