"According to William McGeveran, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School who wrote about these laws in a blog post today, the law would apply to Facebook users anywhere if the ad were displayed in New York. Arguably, it could apply if the ad was displayed on a computer screen within the state. Yet “where the ad actually is in cyberspace is a whole other can of worms,” he said"

This doesnt really apply.  For the users to be linked to the actual product being sold, the user who purchased the product would have to identify themselves through facebook, and there could be consent implied in that action.  If not implied, the advertisers themselves can make it clear that users are consenting when the action is taken.

This will not affect facebooks social ads, in my opinion.
