Zuck should ask congress why they’re violently maintaining prohibition despite it being an inherently murderous and racist failure.

Meta appears to have continued to shirk its social responsibility

Why would anyone assume Meta cares about any form of “social responsibility”? They’re an ad company that wants to hoover up your data so they can maximize the profit from the ad space they sell. That’s it. Anything they do that’s “socially responsible” is to get people to use their platform so they can sell more ad space.

So the answer to this question is simple: it makes money. It’s really that simple. As long as they don’t sell drugs directly, they’re not really breaking any laws, at least not any laws that can’t be dismissed with plausible deniability.

And honestly, I don’t have a problem with it. I think most drugs should be legal for recreational use, provided people get drugs through legal means. The problem then simplifies to ensuring drug distribution is done legally (i.e. harder drugs should only be used w/ supervision, limits on total amount sold to an individual, etc), and tax revenue can be used for rehab. I think that’s a much better approach than bans, because we can now track users and bake remediation into the system.

I absolutely hate everything about Meta, but blocking ads for drugs isn’t a real solution. I highly doubt people are using because they saw an ad on Facebook or Instagram, so the problem here isn’t about the ads, but about distribution.

Facebook was the real gateway drug this whole time.

Maybe friends are the drugs we took along the way.

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

Corporations are people except when they are doing literal crimes.

Gotta go to where the customers are.

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

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.

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

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