They're ok with their ads harming society, democracy, human rights and civil liberties. But they're removing ads that might give their victims the means to fight for the harm they caused them.

A couple months ago a story came out of a court case that they would happily keep running ads that were identified as scams; they would just increase the advertising costs for the accounts running those ads. The more reports, the higher the price until they reach a limit to ban them. Basically if their users are getting scammed, they want a bigger cut.
Remember the time Signal ran an ad campaign on Facebook that told you what info Facebook gave them on you and got banned?
The fact that what this fucker does is still relevant is beyond me. It means there are people still using his dumpster fire of a website. And that's what's beyond me. Eventually I will not consider them as victims, but accomplices. No I don't care about your excuses and I will not take questions.
Corporate malpractice doesn't seem to register with a certain percentage of the population. Not unless they experience direct harm from it.
Perhaps because those people would do the same if they were in Zucks position.
It reminds me of a study I read a long time ago where students from certain fields had different interpretations of what's construed as lying or cheating. I remember they found that business students have a much lower bar for what's considered right and wrong.
STEM students had a much higher bar. These days I find it hard to believe tech would fit among that group anymore.
Bold strategy.
Let's see if it pays out for them, Bolton
Why would they do that!! 😡
