However, if the algorithm in tagging is working well, those ads should be show up pretty much based on user’s interest.

Audience-Based Advertising
Under this section, you will get to see the list of advertiser that have your info that are ready to show you their personalized ads. Some of which you will familiar with but some you might have no idea who they are. It seems like there are advertisers who got your detail will able to create their own list in Facebook ads platform, so that they can be ready to show their personalized ads to those in their list.
Then you might thought,
“Hey, what the heck!”
“I don’t know you, why you know me?”
“Where you get my detail?”
“I don’t want to see what you want to show me at all!”
But good thing is that we can have option to limit their capability in Facebook Ads platform. Click onto each of the advertiser’s name, then click on the “They uploaded or used a list to reach you“, then just click Don’t Allow on both item.
You will really need to one by one go into each advertiser to remove the permission.

Under this section, just turn off this only option available. Why would you want Facebook to allow advertiser trace you off Facebook?
