The topic of moderating a general-purpose is no doubt difficult and an interesting problem to solve at scale (if it is indeed possible to solve), but it is not the topic at hand. In this specific case, Facebook is being asked to moderate advertisements for which they charge fees and presumably make a profit.
- throwawaygh 5y agoAt FB's scale, there's not much of a functional difference between ad moderation and content moderation. Both are intractably huge. (The barrier for entry into the ad market is not much higher than posting -- your ad can meet 1K eyeballs for less than ten bucks.) Again, acknowledging this fact does not need to be understood as a defense of Meta.
