What is Facebook up to?

The Stanford team found "widespread" tobacco promotion and sales across Facebook. Some e-cigarette pages show product photos and lists of flavor options while hosting a big "shop now" button that takes the browser off of Facebook and moves them to a separate e-commerce site run by the company.

According to the article, "Facebook has a tobacco problem, researchers say" by Angelica Lavito on the CNBC website, advertisements are rampant and often not well regulated.

Facebook had declared a banned on all cryptocurrency ICO advertisements, however, I have personally seen more of these ICO ads popping up. Doing what you preach? No.

Many times I have also encountered posts shared on Facebook containing hate speech, violence, gore. Reporting it to the Facebook authorities is futile, and I would receive a meaningless message saying "This post does not violate our community guidelines." What?!

Facebook needs a Facelift.
