    “If we can’t get money from targeted far-right fake news anymore, we are going to pretend an achievement of basic social equality from a century ago is now a controversial opinion too”

    What?! A sensitive social issue was attempting to have society socialize about it on a social network?! Preposterous!

    I jest, but it is interesting that fb wouldn’t allow these specific ads, when it (fb) allows so many mis- and dis- information ads. But I’m just a Lemming. What do I know?

    But you can sell your horse sized dildos and anal hooks on their marketplace with no issues. Logic 100%
