    This. If they really wanted ads they could insert them into the posts at the back end so when retrieved there would just be posts, some of which would have been ads. Anyway fuck 'em. None of these corporations give a shit about the users nor their employees . Its better to invest in user controlled alternatives.

      I think legislation about ads being clearly marked stops that from happening.

        So what? Make it a requirement that any third party app must show a responsibile amount of ads in order to continue to use the API. Anyone found violating gets their rights removed.
