Meta today began removing ads from attorneys who were seeking clients that claim to have been harmed by social media

. . . Thereby proving the absolute ease and facility with which content can be rapidly identified and removed when that content removal serves the corporation, and thereby actively helping to prove the plaintiffs' cases for them.

Now that's meta.

    Like I feel your point, but also the ads definitely have a lot more identifiable information (target audience, keywords, sectors, etc.) they can use for detection & removal vs random posts using algospeak and other evasion tactics

    Honestly, when I still used it I saw a ton of obviously malicious and illegal ads. After reporting them I'd get the message that they followed their guidelines.

    A lot of leaks have shown that they know their products are incredibly harmful, but that changing it would hurt their bottom line.

    Meta is an evil company filled with careless people.
