I wonder how consistent that decision is with regard to the other platforms they advertise on. If you Google 'extremism on Facebook,' you'll find a flood of accusations from mainstream media outlets.
- AlexandrB 3y agoMost other platforms are still banning Alex Jones, for example, so I think it's consistent-ish. Though, ultimately, who knows. It may be that Bell was seeing poor returns on their X advertising and used the excuse of extremism to get some brownie points with a portion of their customers while saving money.
- whynotmaybe 3y agoFacebook more or less represent the market as a whole, so you got your neighbour's grandma showing her cookies and my cousin rambling about those "dawn xyz people". On x-twitter, the grandma's gone and you know what's left. I guess that spending 100k in advertising on Facebook has now a much higher ROI than on x-Twitter because if some friend of my cousin says that "bell is owned by xyz", you lose that market in an instant. And now that marketplace has replaced many classified ads sites, it's more and more used by our neighbours' grandma's.
