Ordinarily, I would say that we can't expect Facebook to investigate the truth of every ad like this. But if Snopes had already debunked it, it makes me wonder how much effort Facebook is really putting into vetting this stuff.
- aspenmayer 5y agoActually, Facebook heavily moderates anything making anything close to a medical claim in an ad. Or, more accurately, Facebook has a lot of rules that they impose on the third parties and few first party ad reviewers, especially in the area of medical claims.
- bryan_w 5y agoThis leads to some weird ads where the ad mentions a drug (by it's clinical name) and _maybe_ also mentions a health condition but makes no claim correlating the two and that's it.
