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

      But then the FBI would never do anything like that to billionaires.

    Wake me up when the “Congress” actually decides to take actions not just ask “questions” after the damage is done and money is made.

    Seems more like election season shenanigans where the government wants to make a last bit effort of making it seem like they’re doing their job but then nothing happens after. Like clockwork.

      Yes this is there way of looking like they’re doing something without having to actually fix it.

      When they fix problems they don’t have ammo to rile up the idiots.

    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.

      Triggggerd ! Today’s ads are targeted and way more sophisticated than years ago. Maybe watch less porn? 😆

      Edit: Come on guys… You lost your sense of humor? Touch some grass, stop beeing so serious about everything… uuhhhg !

    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.

    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.
