Facebook sold advertising to brands that compared vaccines with the holocaust
Facebook sold t-shirt ads with slogans that compared the response of the United States COVID-19 with Nazi Germany and suggested that vaccines are poison or as the holocaust, CNN reported.
In recent years, the platform earned a total of $ 780,000 thanks to those clothing ads, which were made by the pages "Ride the Red Wave" and "Next Level Goods", as reported by the news chain.
"Slowly and silently, but it is a holocaust," said the design of the shirt in one of the ads, in which a syringe appeared that alluded to the Covid-19 vaccine.
Another announcement on Facebook promoted another shirt with a design of a syringe, in reference to vaccines, and could be read: "proudly not poisoned."
The ads were aimed at men
According to Facebook data, the announcement was for men, and was shown in Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania and California.
From November 29 to 30, the "Ride the Red Wave" page published ads of a sweatshirt: "I am originally from the United States, but resided in Germany of 1941."
"Make Hanging Traitors Great Again" ("Make the hanged traitors be big again"), said another shirt in an announcement published in June.
The ads reached a million people
While the first three ads withdrew for violating Facebook's advertising policies, the latter was not eliminated at the time of publication.
The pages that published these ads paid Facebook to reach an estimated audience of more than one million people, although "Ride the Red Wave" has less than 10,000 followers, according to the CNN, and "Next Level Goods" has less than 7,000Likes, according to Facebook data.
"Several of these ads violate our policies and we already reject them," replied a Meta spokesman, the Facebook parent company, to Business Insider;However, they have not offered any clarification to the questions about another announcement with the sweatshirt with the motto of "Make Hanging Traitors Great Again".
