Facebook, you’ve gone too far.
Here’s a recent family photo, as seen in the photo album on my personal Facebook profile page:
And a close up, so you get the full (absurd) impact.
What ticks me off is that I’m the founder of The 3/50 Project, a consumer awareness campaign that educates customers about the importance of engaging with locally owned, independent brick and mortar merchants instead of always shopping at big boxes. Like Target.
Which is why having Target ads anywhere on my personal profile—let alone inside my photo albums—is wildly inappropriate.
I didn’t “like” the Target page—friends of mine did. That does not give Facebook or Target the right to turn my personal photos into billboards for big boxes I absolutely do not and will not endorse.
First, it was our newsfeeds, but now…my family photos? Seriously?
There needs to be a boundary somewhere.
