Facebook has sold ads promoting anti-vaccine messages, comparing the US government's response to Covid-19 to Nazi Germany, casting doubt on the result of the 2020 election, and even pushing political violence.
The ads have been run by merchandise companies that have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Facebook over the last few years.
On Monday, Fox News personality Lara Logan caused outrage by comparing Dr. Anthony Fauci to a notorious Nazi doctor known as the "Angel of Death" around the same time ads were running on Facebook promoting a sweater emblazed with the words, "I'm originally from America but I currently reside in 1941 Germany."
Another ad compared the rollout of vaccines to the Holocaust falsely and ludicrously implying they are part of an attempt to slaughter people on a mass scale.
The ad was run by a Facebook page named "Ride the Red Wave." Earlier this year the page ran ads for a t-shirt with the words, "Make hanging traitors great again."

(14,972 posts)Once it becomes widely known and they are being shamed/called out, they still usually just try to justify it, but infrequently they do reverse course or pretend it was an unknown oversight.
But they always take the money first and hope to get away with it.
