Facebook Messenger’s advertising bots are here, but it’s not as bad as you think

Okay, maybe you’re just chatting with friends or family and not having racy conversations, when an ad bot decides to chime in. That's right, Facebook is bringing ads to its wildly popular messaging app. But before you cry in despair, you should know you’ll be able to kill them and the scenarios I mentioned above won’t ever happen. At least, that's what Facebook says.
