Facebook cannot sells ads to inmates because they cannot purchase anything, hence the takedowns. Isn't that obvious ?

- superuser2 11y agoNo. It isn't the inmates who are using Facebook, it's their family members. There could be a whole demographic category of "people with family in prison" which could be quite valuable to the (numerous) services around that market. Private companies manage commissaries, telephony, etc. and charge orders of magnitude above market rate. There's a lot of money in those services.
- stephengillie 11y agoWhy can't inmates purchase anything? It might be more difficult for them to express demand for merchandise, but all of my tertiary and quaternary research suggests markets thrive within inmate facilities.
