How do i stop any reference to Facebook appearing on my laptop, phone, anything? - Matt - 02-19-2014 12:39 PM

I am not a facebook user. Never will be. No particular reason.
I am getting so tired of Facebook links, adverts and like rubbish appearing everywhere on my things, for instance, i'll be reading a story on my phone (not connected in anyway to FB or any other social media hyped rubbish) and a little "FB" logo appears somewhere within the usual adverts you get on these things, but 3 or 4 times out 10, bloody facebook starts, as if i have touched the shortcut / app thing. Please tell me there is something out there that will remove and refuse any reference to things like this?
