FB now has a "feature" that does not offer you any fine print to back 
out of.  If you "Like" something, it's originator can without further 
consulting you, post a different advert every day under the heading
"<your name> likes <who/what>"

So now one of my relatives appears to be "liking" Samsung daily.

Another is daily "liking" some political outfit.

I can block games, but I can't block these without blocking the victim.
