I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.

Completely selfishly I’m not too mad about the web integrity thing because I hate ads so much that if I were forced to see them I would use the Internet less which would probably be good.

Who knows that may be the up shot.

We all IMHO use it way too much these days especially me.

Hell it’s gotten so bad that years ago I found out my dad was in hospital via a fecking Facebook Post that said something along the lines of welp the surgery went well.
