Yes, we’ll help you decide if Facebook is profiting from obvious scams through their sponsored advertising.

Here’s a question: is there a moral and/or legal problem with profiteering from scammy advertisers?

It only takes me a few seconds to establish when a particular Facebook advertiser is considered a scam by the wider internet community.

Ok, you might say, ‘buyer beware’. But at what point does (or should) Facebook be accountable for displaying these ads – and, of course, profiting from each click through?

Are we saying that Facebook isn’t accountable?

Are we saying it shouldn’t be accountable?

Well, I think it should be accountable if it profits from selling space to scammy advertisers.

So long as those ads keep appearing, I’ll keep having fun and offering a bit of balance with my cheeky profile picture (left).

And you don’t have to dig too hard to find out that all isn’t well with Facebook advertising generally.  94 pretty pissed off comments and no reply from Facebook.
