They're posts that brands have paid to have displayed on timelines. I still get them on FB with adblock and privacybadger enabled.

I use Facebook purity or whatever it's called, which works for blocking ads on the website but not on the mobile app. I still report/block every single ad that appears on Twitter or fb, that normally stops them till the next update after a couple of days.

I have come to see social media such as Tweeter as a far cry from the thing Warhol said: In the future, everybody will have its 15 minutes of fame.

IMO Facebook is in a really funny place right now. the high school and movies and kitties and puppies part is great. the politics is whacked. I do NOT get how those algorighms can put some of the shit I see in my feed. it's been really stoopid for about 2 weeks now.
maybe because I have friends and family who think TRUMP is A-1 Alpha Male and all who oppose him should be vanquished? well, I "like" all kinds of pages and posts that say we should lock the guy up & throw away the key.
I see enough "lets take up arms to protect our President" type stuff that I wonder what the real true blue faithful are seeing.

I got an ad for an electric cocksucker in my Facebook feed yesterday in case any of the Trump fans in your timeline need some relief, Snee.

Actually it tells us fucking jack shit as you can post hashtags you disagree with. For example someone could post "I love the Conservative party so much it causes me to spontaneously cream my jeans #IStandWithJeremyCorbyn" and it would still count towards the trending topic.

It shows that we've got an actual racist in charge, with a government responsible for tens of thousands of deaths, and Dougie is still more bothered about Jeremy Corbyn.

You mean hashtags can be ironic? I had no fucking idea! What's next in Hef's guide to the internet? "A troll is someone who...."It was more an observation on the bubble dwelling weirdness of the place. And also the number of tweets it takes to "trend" (I googled this one Hef cos I wasn't sure what it meant!).

"An actual racist"
"responsible for tens of thousands of death"
By that logic, why are Rishi Sunak and Priti Patel in 2 of the 4 great offices of state if an actual racist is the PM? And if the Tory government is responsible for all the deaths attributed to Covid-19, surely the same must be levelled at EVERY government that has suffered deaths during the Pandemic?
Absolute drivel.

In principle, European Governments are not responsible as such for 'death by Corona', but they can and should be held responsible for in how far they let it go out of control. I don't have to remind you of the dismissive stance Johnson took when it all started. Different governments booked different results UK 672 deaths / million population France 463 deaths / million population Germany 109 deaths / million population It is not that outlandish to pressume that with a different government, those UK numbers could have easily been less dramatic. Of all EU countries, Belgium did the worst (847 deaths/million), directly followed by the UK
