Facebook needs to stop posting illegal ads, even if users request illegal ads. It's not my problem to decide how Facebook ensures that they obey the law -- it's their problem. Even if its really, really hard, it's still their problem. If it's impossible to achieve with technology, Facebook should leave the advertising business.
- ggggtez 8y agoExactly. Facebook can solve this problem, but they don't. Same as political ads. "If we don't know about it, you can't sue". Unfortunately I think governments are getting tired of that excuse.

- fenwick67 8y agoThe difference here is that Facebook owns their entire product experience. Everything on their site is under their control.
- twblalock 8y agoThe balaclava sellers don't commit any illegal acts, such as going to the bank with the robbers and helping them rob it. Facebook publishes the ads. That's an illegal act that they commit themselves. That is the distinction.
