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

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.

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?!
