Facebook Hack: Purge list of "Advertisers you've interacted with"

purge_advertisers.md

For those of you who want to remove all in “Advertisers and Businesses” / "Who uploaded a list with your info and advertised to it":

1. Go to https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen and open the section "Advertisers you've interacted with"
2. Collapse all sections but keep "Advertisers and Businesses" open
3. Open Web Inspector
4. Copy-paste this script to load all advertisers: smt=setInterval(() => {let x=document.querySelector('div[shade=medium]'); x ? x.click() : clearInterval(smt), console.log('done')}, 1000)
5. It will output a number. Wait for it to say “done” in the console. This may take a long time. you'll notice the scrollbar changing while it's loading all advertisers.
6. Copy-paste this and press enter: document.querySelectorAll('[data-tooltip-content="Hide all ads from this advertiser"]').forEach(el => el.click())
7. Wait for advertisers to turn grey, indicating they've been removed (this may take a while as well)

That's it.

@drnic1 It works fine for me in Safari. It's not possible to disable the console entirely. If they disabled the console.log statement, then just pay attention to the Network tab to see when it stops loading something.

Not working for me (where it used to and was awesome!)
Chrome and Firefox no longer work for the above reasons. Had to disable one fo my blockers for this page to even work in Safari (uBlock) THen I get

smt=setInterval(() => {let x=document.querySelector('div[shade=medium]'); x ? x.click() : clearInterval(smt), console.log('done')}, 1000)
< 3030
[Log] done
document.querySelectorAll('[data-tooltip-content="Hide all ads from this advertiser"]').forEach(el => el.click())
< undefined

Not sure what I am lookign at in the network tab which shows a long list of activities and a timeline

@drnic1 The log statement is clearly working from your paste. It's saying "done". Make sure you followed the instructions. Expand the relevant panels and collapse all others.

OK - thanks - appreciate the feedback
I think I may be confusing this working with the new tab of "Advertisers who have uploaded information about you"....
Another huge list of people that require manual deleting with 4 clicks per company

Not working...
