Meta Ran Ads for an App That Promised to Nudify Female Politicians
www.wired.com/story/meta-ran-ads-for-an-app-promising-to-nudify-female-politicians/Ads are basically how all the bad things on the internet propagate. I do not understand the people that are technically savvy but do not run ad blockers in 2026.
Replying to @Crozekiel@lemmy.zip
You have no idea how convoluted and over engineered the ad serving tech is on Facebook/Meta. It’s basically an arms race against ad blockers.
Unless I’m mistaken, Ublock Origin recently admitted that they basically just can’t allocate resource trying to fight Facebook’s ad system.
