I domt think ur in a sponsored story unless you clicked like on something. Either way, we are all adults here… dont we know that nothing in life is free? By now you should know that, and if you dont like what they do, stop using it. But, most likely, you will keep using it. Facebook knows how entrenched people get and how unlikely it is that theyll ever stop using their services. After all, its 100% free, and its very entertaining and addictive to many. Perhaps once the economy improves and people become accostomed to paying for online services, a better mousetrap is made and people get tired of fb and start to migrate..

Why arent all users allowed to Opt Out of Sponsored Stories? Why only those under 18? I dont want to be in any sponsored stories.

@Jeff John Roberts “(no doubt the group is also miffed that it’s not receiving a share of the spoils)”

As there is “no doubt” in your mind, could you provide some evidence?

Facebook fights to seal financial info in privacy payout case

Facebook (s fb) and class action lawyers will ask a court today to approve a controversial $20 million settlement over “sponsored stories,” an advertising feature in which Facebook users endorsed products. Meanwhile, a new judge in the case is suggesting that financial information about the value of Facebook users should be unsealed.

The new information comes via a court filing in which U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg rejects a request that part of the $20 million go to the homeless, and in which he demands that the parties explain why the public should not have full access to the details of the settlement.
