    Oh so they are capable of banning the ones they don’t like, just not the ones that are actively harmful and illegal?

    Fuck off meta. Really wish more people would stop using their shit. Shun those who work for them while you are at it. You work for the nonce glasses company? Eww

    So they can actively steer and/or block ad content. Judges of the world, please take note.

    Nobody needs meta. Just stop using any of their products.

    I can’t think of the last time I used Facebook or anything related to it, my life is better for it.

    Just leave them behind.

    Meta wants to be the global town square, but apparently Virginia Woolf and feminism are too dangerous for its ad system. Meanwhile the company keeps asking us to trust its algorithms with billions of people’s speech. If Meta can’t distinguish feminist literature from prohibited content, maybe it shouldn’t be the internet’s self appointed censor.

        It’s amazing how blantly they allow scam ads. I reported ads for stolen credit cards and counterfeit money and meta closed my reports stating there was nothing wrong with the ads. What is this? The dark web?

          They’re directly incentivized to allow scams, since over 10% of their total revenue comes from scams
