Facebook is Being Overrun With Teaparty Ads, Flag Them as "Misleading" or "Offensive"

[AndyTiedye]

With the infusion of unlimited corporate cash, the Repiglickins are saturating every available outlet with advertising.
That includes Facebook, of course.

One interesting feature of Facebook ads, is that they have a little "X" by them so you can make them go away.
You then get to click a radio button for why. I usually select "Misleading" or "Offensive", both of which
are pretty much always appropriate!

2. Interesting

I'm not seeing any Tea Party ads right now. I'll keep my eyes our for them and start marking them as offensive or misleading. Thanks for the heads up.

3. I really wasn't in to Facebook but got so darn fed up I just

closed myself down on it.

4. Funny, I haven't seen any. And believe me, I'm on FB a lot. It may be because I don't post a lot

of political stuff. I do mark the "Wal-Mart" ads as offensive, though, which brings me a sense of quiet joy every time I do it.

5. I've been doing this for months. I'm sick of having to wade through

all the right wing lies and bullshit on face book

6. I deleted my Facebook page months ago, and it felt great.

All kinds of freaks and losers I used to know (former employees, spammers, co-workers who I hated) came out of the woodwork.

They (Facebook) sell your personal information.

Isn't that enough to kill your Facebook page?

7. Let FB TRY to Digest and Sell my "Personal Information"

I got on facebook because that's the best place to find out about psytrance parties around here.
I like some of the games too.

May the marketing machine choke on my friends list of 1623, most of whom are actually Pirates or Castle Age crew.
Good luck finding my real social network in there.
Garbage in, garbage out.

All kinds of freaks and losers I used to know (former employees, spammers, co-workers who I hated) came out of the woodwork.

I guess I've had better people come out of the woodwork, because reconnecting with people is one of the things I like about facebook.

8. Lots of FB Ads Ranting About "Spending"

Where were they when the Bush administration was spending like drunken sailors?
