🧐 Ah yes, another groundbreaking revelation that your browser isn't a secret diary but more like a neon sign for advertisers. But don't worry, just install 37 plugins, disable JavaScript, and wrap your computer in tin foil. Problem solved! 🙄🔍

AdNauseam: Clicking ads so you don't have to

Just over a year ago, the two ads that I saw in the most prominent spot on Facebook’s Web site–at the top-right corner–had me think for a moment that I was seeing double. They mimicked the notifications, messages and menu buttons above, a form of impersonation banned by ad-standards policies at online platforms that want to stay in business.
The “Using Meta Intellectual Property and Licenses” page, linked to from Meta’s ad-standards page, makes that much clear. The text there bans content depicting Meta user interfaces in a manner that:
Is an inaccurate depiction of the current appearance, features, or functionality of the products.
Modifies the user interface in any way, such as adding special effects, interference or animation.
Uses elements of the user interface separately or individually
Does not depict the user interface within the context of a relevant device like a mobile or desktop.
And the text of these ads–each saying I had new messages, with a link to a .shop address below–also seemed an unambiguous case of deceptive behavior. I filed a report but don’t remember what Facebook did with it and can’t check anyway, because there’s no record of my report in Facebook’s “Support Inbox.”
I do, however, know what Facebook did when I reported two new ads last week that took this deceptive template and twisted it to suggest that my Facebook account was in danger, as you can see in the image above. The response to both of my reports, received Wednesday morning: “We didn’t remove the ad.”
This should have been an easy call. Advertising policies should rank among the top rules at an advertising-supported platform–having some ads look like scams makes readers wonder how many other advertisers are trying to rip them off and pollutes the well for legitimate businesses.
(I could say the same about the garbage ads that keep crawling out of the programmatic-advertising cesspool, but that’s another post.)
But while I’m dismayed to see Facebook trip over its own shoelaces this badly, I am not susprised. So much of the user experience on that platform now–the incessant suggestions that I join groups and follow pages tangentially related to my interests, the increasingly ad-dense layout of my feed, the chaotically-sorted algorithm that reveals friends were in town days after they left, the scattershot “People You May Know” suggestions–speaks to no higher priority than trying whatever might momentarily push #engagement.
Inconveniently enough, Facebook remains the leading place online for me to see what most friends and family are up to, followed more or less by Instagram. So this company continues to get its chances to monetize my eyeballs.
I can, however, choose where I try to promote my own work. And Facebook left that list years ago, because of the reasons above and because of this company’s history of rug-pulling newsrooms. My public page that once seemed like a valuable bit of reader outreach might as well be covered in cobwebs; I last posted anything there in April, a link to a PCMag story about Meta’s content-moderation machinery running amok that closed with a reminder to look me up on Patreon. These days, I can’t even be bothered to delete the scam notifications on my page from fraudsters impersonating Facebook support staff.
In other words: Don’t even think of suggesting that I put more time into Threads.

I just don't understand Google's continued ban on advertising by 3rd party tech support businesses. We have been in business for over 15 years and have a 5.0 review rating with hundreds of reviews. We want to give you money... You have SO much data - I guarantee you could come up with a way to verify legitimate businesses quite easily.

Everything advertised on social media is overpriced junk - “…stuff that's pushed to you via targeted ads costs an average of 10 percent more, and it significantly more likely to come from a vendor with a poor rating from the Better Business Bureau”.
