    Is there anywhere to get those ads without having to book my face? (Asking for a friend, obviously)

    Only hundreds? With their active userbase? I know the article said they were told about it by a previous news article several months ago, but like, at some point there’s only so much you can do.

    I expect Facebook did nothing, which is not only so much you can do, but also I expect that from Facebook. The whole company needs to be split up, and this is just another symptom of that.

        Meta is probably more likely to share your info with law enforcement.
