>the company has shown sponsored posts to Irish users which feature misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines, slogans used by anti-vaccine groups and claims that the pandemic is a hoax.
I said it a few days ago but Instagram was pushing [sponsored anti-vax posts](https://i.imgur.com/DVZG7d5.jpg) a lot towards me despite me not following, watching, liking, or commenting on anything to do with those topics. I’d just be tapping through my friends stories and get these sponsored ones in between.
I was getting them at the same level as those Forex trading ones.
Meta got to make that cash at the expense of the gullible
Facebook is the real killer virus.
Zuck needs the buck
“Read more news about small minority of people to make you continue with your passes because you wouldn’t want to be antivax now would you?”
They sound like decent t-shirts might have to pick up one or two of them
Imagine selling joke t-shirts with opinions people don’t agree with, the audacity
Oh look, it’s that massive multinational corporation that has assisted genocides and interfered with democracy in multiple countries operating with impunity making money by compromising our laws and public health advice.
Surely something will be done…
I have no love for Facebook, but that title is shite.
Some 3rd party posted the ads, not Facebook and when Facebook found out they removed them.
No automated removal system is perfect.
