    Meta wants to be the global town square, but apparently Virginia Woolf and feminism are too dangerous for its ad system. Meanwhile the company keeps asking us to trust its algorithms with billions of people’s speech. If Meta can’t distinguish feminist literature from prohibited content, maybe it shouldn’t be the internet’s self appointed censor.

        It’s amazing how blantly they allow scam ads. I reported ads for stolen credit cards and counterfeit money and meta closed my reports stating there was nothing wrong with the ads. What is this? The dark web?

          They’re directly incentivized to allow scams, since over 10% of their total revenue comes from scams

        It’s a catastrophe in double standards.

      If Meta can’t distinguish feminist literature from prohibited content,

      You misunderstand… Feminist literature is the prohibited content. I’m not making a joke here. That’s literally their policy!
