Most of My Instagram Ads Are for Drugs, Stolen Credit Cards, Hacked Accounts, Counterfeit Money, and Weapons
vmaziman, Asking tech giants to start policing people sounds like it can get bad really quickly…but at the same time letting them do nothing also sounds terrible
Endorkend, 
That's an interesting take.
These companies are accepting money from criminal enterprises to advertise criminal enterprises.
You don't need them to police people, you need them to stop being overt criminals themselves.
grue, Exactly. Meta is an accomplice to all these crimes! Why do so many of the folks in this thread and elsewhere fail to realize that?!
RegularGoose, How the fuck is vetting the ads on their platform “policing” people?
Edward_Teach, I don’t see a problem. Shroom time babey
BenGFHC, You don't see a problem when Instagram's target market is teens and young people?
grue, Did you miss the part where the ads were offering things like stolen credit card info and unregistered firearms, too?
riodoro1, The biggest media corporations are allowed to advertise literal crime. Meanwhile saying the word cigarette on tv will get you jail time.
deleted, Smoke
Bz2486, Are you smoking yet?
FilthyHands, I am smoking. Inside.
