If the FBI showed up at his office with an arrest warrant you better believe that shit would get fixed in a hurry.

Like be gives a fuck! He’s just gonna tell them what they want to hear and then he’s going back to making millions off of fakebook

MyOpinion ,

This actually sounds like a reasonable question to ask.

But why politicians spread propaganda on social networks? Drug dealers should ask them.

Shit, this winter, for 3 days strait, i got ads with literal swinging dicks and full on penetration. Reported ads, and moved on. After day three, i deleted the app and only launched from a sandboxed browser with an ad blocker.

Now, i only open it for the marketplace. The place was cancer anyhow, but that was just too much.

I found out that in most apps that advertise, the act of hovering on an ad and blocking it greatly increases the chance of seeing the same or similar ads

I know why.
It's because Meta is a trash hole and lives to exploit people.

Zuck and his corporation are expectedly shit; C Corp with only one motive, enrichment. Fuck Zuck and all that, but…

Congress, on the other hand, are supposed to represent the people and instead whore themselves out to the highest corporate bidders.

“Why would you do such a thing?!?” Fox #1 incredulously asked Fox #2 of his raiding of the henhouse.

PapaStevesy ,

I’m more concerned with the drug dealers advertising on TV.

TropicalDingdong ,

Gotta go to where the customers are.

If Bayer can advertise on facebook, so should too, my neighbor be allowed.

Facebook coke and E. Ehhhh that’s gotta be like asking for as much fentanyl cut in as possible.

Eh, it’s best to assume everything has fent nowadays

Rai ,

Test kits, everybody. They’re legal and invaluable.

Rai ,

I also don’t mean to UM AKSHULLY but there almost zero reports of fent-laced MDMA or X…. Coke, definitely more.

Careful with pressies

TheBigBrother ,

Because they need so sell their drugs?

ThePrivacyPolicy ,

I got an ad once for a group selling stolen credit card numbers too. I must have reported it at least a dozen times but it was always kept up and the report said it didn’t break any rules. It only got removed after I just skipped Facebook reports and reported to the police.

Same here when I got DM’d a telegram channel for hard drugs. The user was never taken down or warned.

I’d be shocked if cops did anything with that. Local police are incompetent (and, to be fair, waaay under resourced) when it comes to cybercrimes. Who did you report it to?

otter ,

We get posts here too, and on Reddit

The posts here get reported and removed very quickly, sometimes within minutes of the account being created or the first post.

I searched Reddit for the website they were linking and saw the spam posts on Reddit have been up for months.

Few possible differences:

  • We have a better ratio of users/moderation, where the lower volume of posts means everything can go through human moderators
  • Our users are more actively trying to keep the platform good by reporting spam
  • The incentive here is to create a good online platform. The inventive there is profit. The priorities are different as a result

“well, because they want to sell their products. isn’t that obvious?”
