don’t get me started on their malicious ads system. My grandfather calls me AT LEAST once a week because he clicks one of the posts on facebook and it brings him to a “your computer has a virus please call this number” scare page. I basically have had to tell him “if it says sponsored just don’t click it” because Meta has like no vetting system it seems.
Not just no vetting the odd time I’m in there I report that shit and they NEVER take it down. Just say they deemed it “didn’t go against facebook’s community standards.”

Why not install an adblocker on his browser of choice?
he currently has an adblocker (ublock unless hes replaced or disabled it) and a pihole setup to filter DNS, but that only works so well with facebook.
Which adblocker can block Facebook ad posts?
probably uBlock Origin
I might also look into Social Fixer, if that addon is still around. Used to be the best one for customizing Facebook’s bullshit away.
Use the pihole to block facebook
