  Remember the largest platforms in the world are going to use them to suppress speech they fear until we dismantle their power.

  a great start actually. but they really need to remove adverts for *all* ambulance chasers. as should the subway btw, and every other public space.

  Hey turns out they do know how to moderate ads

  Seems like an obvious move that shouldn't be controversial. No, you can't keep running “sue Acme!” ads on Acme. Acme doesn't want that. Duh.

  wait so hate speech on Facebook is ok but ads reaching people harmed by its addictive design is not? what happened to “more speech and fewer mistakes”? [image]

• @jackcarterbenjamin Jack Benjamin on bluesky

  Meta is willing to admit at least 3-4% of its annual revenue came from scam advertisers, but god forbid a lawyer try to advertise their services for social media addiction lawsuits. www.axios.com/2026/04/09/m...

  Of course any company can accept or refuse advertising from anyone it likes.  —  But it's instructive that this feels like a violation.  We instinctively view social media as if they were a public good, not as if they are what they are, which is commercial operations making profi…
