I think we all need to stop pretending that the infrastructure for advertising hasn’t existed forever. Yes, the ad is now on a website, great. It used to be on TV and a magazine. What are all these ‘new’ concerns that haven’t existed forever? Oh, that the ad might be bullshit? Lol.
also PragerU is extremely dodgy, using "university" in its full name yet providing zero university services.
it is a pure-play propaganda house
free speech doesn't mean you need to be telling the truth... do you really expect facebook to arbitrate all truth claims?
No but it would be great if they'd stop profiting off lies.
Facebook claims to care about climate change: https://sustainability.fb.com/
But if they are taking money to help people deny it, then the incentives don't line up. This can't be good, right?
