actively creating and distributing

In fairness, it seems what is actually going on is that they are not sufficiently monitoring third-party advertising, not creating the material themselves.

I just hate it when we aren't accurate about what's going on. Not controlling your advertising is a much different problem. One that needs resolution, mind, but not nearly the same as Facebook itself creating such content.

Twitter is actively creating and distributing. Meta is actively distributing.
