Facebook says it will finally ban anti-vaccination ads
- malloreon 6y agoI'm curious how much money Facebook has made over the years taking money to spread anti-vax ideas, and whether they have any plans to try and make up for it. How many people, primarily children, have died as a result? Why is anti-vaccination suddenly something Facebook has decided to do the right thing about, after over a decade of doing the wrong thing? Facebook employees: how do you feel about your work being used to advocate against vaccines till today? To reiterate: zero credit for doing the right thing after all this time profiting off doing the wrong thing.
- netsharc 6y agoPerhaps it has something to do with an upcoming vaccination "debate": the Covid vaccine The nutty section of the Internet are pointing out that governments are budgeting pro-vaccination education as them preparing to spread propaganda/brainwash the masses to "take the Covid-vaccine which will finally let Bill Gates control us through 5G" (or something like that). Hopefully some policymaker convinced Zuck not to take the anti-vaxxer ad money, and hopefully they didn't have to pay him out of the aforementioned budget for this "convincing"...

- inkyoto 6y agoConsidering a trove of personal information FB has amassed over the years, a more appropriate retribution would be to selectively target anti-vaxxers with vaccination / pro-vaccination ads across the entire net and turn the invasiveness of the pro-vaccination ads into an exponential function depending on how invasive the anti-vaxxer being targeted are in real life.
