Facebook takes bold stance on privacy – of its ads: Independent transparency research blocked

Utterly unregulated ads is the American Way. As American culture is law across the entire planet therefore everyone on the planet must learn to appreciate being fed a neverending stream of lies and bullshit in the guise of advertising.

Mobile game ads often advertise something entirely different to the pay-to-progress advert distribution platforms, "games", they are promoting. Complete lies such as "no adverts", "totally free" and yet if one checks the game being touted all the feedback comments relate to the number of adverts or the fact that after a short period a player effectively must pay.

Or the adverts showing entirely different before and after people for supposedly wonder drug slimming aids?

All fine in the land-of-the-lie but in more civilised parts of the planet such shameless lying is not permitted.
