This isn’t news… Facebook won’t remove any scam ad, post, or account either. They just don’t care.

  A while ago I reported a video of a cat being blended in a blender on Facebook. Apparently that didn't go against their policy either.

    Arguably that won't cause as much damage as scams. But holy bad taste

  IIRC the worst example of this was Facebook declining to remove a reported scam ad featuring Martin Lewis (a well-known consumer advice guru in the UK, and an honest one) who had already launched a lawsuit against them for permitting scam ads using his image and secured a settlement where Facebook donated £3m to charity and promised to do better. Which is probably a good example of Hanlon's law, because it's really in the interests of Facebook for their vetters dealing with reported ads to know who the guy that has the resources and inclination to sue them again when his likeness appears in ads on their platform, no matter how cynical their general policy on ad acceptance is.
