Amazingly I’ve seen some fairly convincing screenshots of ads for hard drugs on fb. I have this strange feeling that those ones aren’t scams. If Zuckerberg isn’t criminally liable for the federal felony of moving massive amounts of cocaine across state lines I don’t understand the war on drugs.

I've seen similar. As well as ones that blatantly hint at CSAM. Report, report. "Not against our community standards/guidelines".

First off, why would you snitch?

Secondly, why would you report the offense… to the offender? That’s like filing a citizen complaint form for police misconduct… to the police.

HR is not your friend.

"Why would I report someone that might be selling CSAM?" There's a lot of things I can and will overlook. CSAM isn't one.

Well, here there's two offenders - Meta and the ad seller. Honestly, I suppose the best bet here would be reporting the ad to the FBI. Assuming I'm a snitch, that is...

I know HR is not my friend. HR looks out for the company. If you and the company's interests are aligned, lucky you. If not, not so much.

"First off, why would you snitch?"

That's a question typical of criminal scum. Are you criminal scum?

I’m worse. I’m rebel criminal scum. You would be too if you knew the truth about cops.

You don't understand, an AI agent made the ad, so it's okay, it just escaped its' sandbox, you have to understand that this was not meant to happen and it was an accident.

Ads for illegal/downright criminal products were a thing on Facebook long before AI agents. The irony is Facebook and co. usually try to paint themselves as victims rather than perpetrators.
