I don't really use facebook anymore so couldn't care less; but so happened to log in today to change my password and saw this on my front page.

It's probably made-up garbage. If they knew my ad-blocker had actually blocked a friend, I'm sure they would have found a way not to get anything blocked.

Or alternatively they are now displaying some friend's posts on the same channel normally reserved for ad networks so they are indistinguishable via software? But then it should be way more than one, unless this is some early A/B testing crap.

Sounds they detect adblock and then hide friends posts.
