There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

Why aren't advertisers (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) held responsible for allowing scammy adverts?

I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.

Forget ads, Microsofts “free trial” wasn’t free or a trial. You’d be charged for a product that would show up on your bank statement as free. Short answer; no one in a position of power gives a fuck.
