    I reported their daily wire transphobia documentary ad like 4 times and still ended up getting it. They don’t care. They support it.

      They support money, and showing you the ad gets google more money. This isn’t some ideological thing, they just like money. It’s not rocket science.

      The problem is that the machine is so big that there barely is a “they” anymore. It’s all automated. Support takes days to reply, and they’re all outsourced to sales teams in the Philippines.

      It’s crazy I can have an ad disapproved when I didn’t even use the content they say I did, but someone reports an ad multiple times and it stays up. I imagine they have some kind of threshold where a certain percentage of the viewership needs to report it.

      I’m talking about Google here, last time I used Facebook was almost a decade ago and their platform was even more of a mess and had much more creepy tracking.
