Using Boost for Lemmy, I got an obvious political ad from the right asking to sign a petition to scrap the gun “ban” in Canada (it’s a registry not a ban).

Now I understand this is an ad but I don’t appreciate having propaganda from the right injected into my browsing on lemmy. Have better ads, or let us report them.

    If I were an ad company I would make sure to check every detail of every ad, manually , one by one. Why? If something sketchy like scam are advertised, it will obviously ruin the credibility of the ad company

    Yet, it seems like every digital ad company seems to not care about doing that. As a result something like this happens. I also sometimes see awful YouTube ads that are straight up a scam.
