"The risk of cyber threats" such as this fucking ad, lol.

Ironically I also just got an email from on online service encouraging me to swap from 2FA logins to Google (or Apple) logins because it's "part of [their] commitment to [my] privacy". 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have ads blocked and avoid using Facebook as much as possible but this insidious ad literally slid out of the bottom of the video I was watching (part way through the video) and would not let me close it or bring up the menu - clicking on either of those things just acted as though I clicked on the ad itself.

Facebook taking shitty advertising practices to a new low.

What adblocker do you use? I find ublock origin to be pretty good.

uBlock Origin. Annoyances, and Fanboy Anti-Facebook is also enabled. I've noticed lately that a fair number of 'sponsored' ads have been slipping through. Facebook is always freaking Whack-a-mole with ads. This so far takes the cake for shady advertising practices though.
