Thanks Tailey, as Styx75's post has prompted my brain cell, the Facebook fake ads I saw were a packaged as some lefty slag against the banks. I haven't seen them for a while on Facebook.
Google and Facebook have bricks and mortar offices in Australia, not sure if Pprune does. Another case against these social media giants is that they have gained both financial benefit and value add to their services by displaying news articles from other outlets without paying for it. After a stink was kicked up by the Australian media groups they initialially agreed to pay the journalists a lousy stipend of a few million dollars to share out, but the journalists hit back saying the value add generated, which is reflected in their mega profits, was actually worth many more tens of millions of dollars. Hope the journalists win this one.
