Readit NewsRecently I've been getting shown lots of deepfake ads on Facebook. I report them but then I get back a message saying that they don't violate the advertising guidelines. There's no option to report it specifically for being a deepfake.
I imagine this is a similar problem that Meta won't address until they're forced to.

FB/Instagram is fueled by AI. It makes them money. They're not going to see this kind of 'pink slime' content as being a hindrance.
> Stop doing "{{ name }}"
Had to laugh at that. The amount of e-mails I received which were boilerplate and mistakenly included the actual template variable as a raw `{{ name }}` is staggering. I hope this tool addresses that.

Yes, the internet is becoming unusable.
Google search results are horrible and lead to low effort blogs by peacocking beginners who are trying to monetise a paragraph and 2 lines of code.
Paywalls and ads(if using without adblock) on anything interesting of value.
Social media is a information harvesting machine pretending to foster human connections.

No, I've declared a personal holy war on ads. I have many filters enabled on uBlock origin, and I don't own iOS devices on which blocking is less effective. If a website doesn't let me view with an Adblocker, I don't use it to the extent I can. I've had enough with ads and I think targeted ads should be wiped off the face of the earth. Answering the question, I see maybe an ad every 3 days.

But if you must use iOS, I recommend ADGuard Pro which intercepts ADs/Trackers at the network level using a pseudo VPN Profile. You can even load up your own custom filter lists.
Except I have JS disabled and can't complete the CAPTCHA interstitial.
