As the title asks, I’m wanting to block those infernal ‘Suggested Post’ entries on my FB page. For starters, I don’t want to buy expensive face-creams, or gamble online or take up any of their other ‘suggestions’.

In fact, I don’t understand why they’re targeting my page at all. I don’t post **anything** on FB, don’t share links, nor have I gone to other commercial sites via my FB page.

Can I block them? And if so, how?

If you can’t identify the product on a website that you get access to for free, the product is you. Your eyeballs are what Facebook is selling, and those suggested post are how Facebook sells them.

Yeah, get [FBpurity](http://www.fbpurity.com/), so effective it’s banned on Facebook.
