Meta Now Banning Ads That Promote Feminism: "We have given social media unlimited power and every day we can see how dangerous this is."

Meta wants to be the global town square, but apparently Virginia Woolf and feminism are too dangerous for its ad system. Meanwhile the company keeps asking us to trust its algorithms with billions of people’s speech. If Meta can’t distinguish feminist literature from prohibited content, maybe it shouldn’t be the internet’s self appointed censor.

While allowing scam and porn ads on there that harm millions of people

It’s a catastrophe in double standards.

It’s amazing how blantly they allow scam ads. I reported ads for stolen credit cards and counterfeit money and meta closed my reports stating there was nothing wrong with the ads. What is this? The dark web?
Replying to @Pechente@feddit.org
They’re directly incentivized to allow scams, since over 10% of their total revenue comes from scams

Honestly, I think the dark web is a safer concept than X or Meta. The legitimacy of society’s most powerful people is far more insidious than backstreet markets and courtesans: they don’t make laws or support evil institutions across entire nations, nor able to leverage them as a club.
The ordinary pickpocket just wants money. A wealthy elite considers other humans to be decorative, to be used and disposed of.

No one should be the World Wide Web’s self appointed censor!

You misunderstand… Feminist literature is the prohibited content. I’m not making a joke here. That’s literally their policy!
