This video shows how to remove some RockYou advertisements , which obtain your Facebook data , including names of your FRIENDS , to display some advertisements.

I find this form of advertisement quite intrusive and misleading , so i made this video to guide the world on how to remove these kind of advertisements.

RockYou is not the only advertising company which does so
Another of such activities which use obtained Facebook data would be Sochr

To avoid applications which may obtain your data for advertising uses , avoid quizzes in general.
Properly funded applications should not usually use advertisements like those.

Please do remember to watch in HD , or you might not be able to catch the fine details.
