        I'm hearing there are still a lot of offensive ad categories live on Facebook. Shall we crowdsource them? Here's one via @WolfieChristl pic.twitter.com/LTA5fSf3R5

        Silicon Valley triad driving this: 1-Ad-financing (➡️surveillance & manipulative persuasion); 2-Too few employees; 3-Homogeneous workforce.
