Privacy Icon in Facebook Apps as Facebook Itself Opts Out | Digital – Advertising Age

Facebook is not part of the ad industry’s self-regulatory program that notifies consumers about online data collection and ad targeting, but people can find the ubiquitous AdChoices icon on Facebook anyway: in third-party apps.

Facebook was among the top sites that displayed the small blue triangle-shape icon during the past week. But the symbol didn’t show up in display ads sold by Facebook or in the behaviorally-targeted ads served its Facebook Exchange — rather, the symbol appeared in ads served in Facebook apps.
