Lately my Facebook page has been spammed with ads for facemasks to protect you from Covid-19. It started off last week as a few a day. Now I can't scroll down 2-3 pages without having one of these ads jump out. To make a point lately I have been reporting every one I saw as offensive. The SAME ads still show up along with new ones. Which just goes to prove the point that Facebook (the people running it and who own it) doesn't care about us ... all they care about is money.
At a time like this, when protective gear is in short supply in so many countries, they allow tasteless ads like this. Fuck off and send the masks to where they are needed on the frontline fighting the virus and trying to keep people alive. It is bad enough that these companies are trying to make a profit off of peoples fears and lives, then you have Facebook doing the same.
Which of course begs the question; are these masks any good or just a way to rip off people? If they are actually a good product they should be going to where they are needed most. If they are a rip off, well, thanks again for allowing ripoff ads Facebook.
While typing this I went back to my Facebook page and scrolled down 2 pages. What did I see? The ad that prompted me to write this AGAIN. This AFTER reporting it to Facebook as offensive and having them lie, again, and say I wouldn't see it again.
Sadly, I didn't expect better from Facebook. Years back they had no problem allowing a dating site to advertise using the image of an underage girl that was raped and committed suicide.
It might be time to get rid of Facebook. While it has its uses BS like this makes me wonder if it does more harm than good.
