Even on desktop FB's ads are unblocked (or were when I used to have a FB account). They use a significant amount of obfuscation to make it impossible to use typical adblock techniques (url filter, css selectors, simple heuristics) without breaking the rest of the site. So far as I can tell most of the filter maintainers leave Facebook's native ads alone.
FB uses “native ads” and “boosted content” that are indistinguishable from regular posts.
