I can post “I’m selling vapes to 13-17 year olds, $10 a pop!” almost anywhere on the internet. I won’t get banned for it until someone brings attention to it. I can upload ads like this anywhere that allows users to upload ads. Will the news write a headline like this about it if I do it anywhere other than Facebook?
This is a complete non-story. The appropriate forum for it is a bug report to Facebook, not international news. It should make you skeptical about other news about Facebook, because it indicates the media does not have a basic “is this bullshit” filter for stories they publish about Facebook.
If this was actual commercial activity, with real vape vendors selling vapes to children, and Facebook kept it up after finding out about it, that would be a story.
- trainsplanes 6y agoPeople do report these things to facebook. They might maybe possibly kind of sometimes take it down, or they might not. But one or two small news stories come out and they apologize and say there's nothing that can be done, then a big story drops and they instantly ban everyone who sold vapes to kids, filter out new ones, and the problem vanishes for a few weeks until people forget.
- fshbbdssbbgdd 6y agoIf this is a real problem, why does the news story only mention a fake example of it?
