It seems you're comparing Google Adwords anno 2001 with Facebook Ads anno 2008.

Today Google ads are everywhere - even in mobile apps and email. And they work with any signal they can get. Facebook Ads on the other hand are now using retargeting ads based on your searches outside of Facebook. Not that any of the two types of ads are inherently more evil than the other in my point of view.

Yeah I don't even disagree with that haha (I mean youtube is another great example), but the analysis I provided is still probably the reason FB gets a hardtime on HN while Google doesn't.
