Misinformation As The Core Brand Proposition - Facebook Ads Volume 7
This is the 7th in a series of articles we’re doing featuring misinformation found on Facebook as sponsored content. Not just posts by your garden variety loon, but stuff that Facebook allows people to increase the reach of using advertisement. These ads were collected on a fake Facebook account I created that follows every conspiracy theory page I can possibly find and from a couple great folks who submitted their own screen shots. Collected from June 29th through October 11th 2021. The times between these articles are getting longer as Facebook has decided to feed republican propaganda ads to our main fake account instead of conspiracy stuff for what seems to be no good reason.
Here’s the 1st article

We can’t do one of these without some kind of pendant or beanie or something that protects you from EMF, usually 5G. Conspiracy theories never really die. They just become part of a lore as they simmer.
Ads for groups and events about social distancing and regulations on businesses appear in the other articles too. This one was shown to our fake account at least a dozen times.
These shirt ads started to tail off as ads on our fake account. Unsure if these ads are starting to be rejected or if Facebook just decided, for some reason, not to serve these kinds of ads to our fake account.
We started seeing more right wing cultural identifier product ads like these. Bit of crossover on the doormat as it does mention the vaccine. That shirt with the statue and the leather color on it is hideous.
The Great Reset stuff is so 8 months ago,. Myrna. Get with the times!
Praise be to lord Xenu!
We’re all for altered states of consciousness around here, but you probably shouldn’t get your miracle psychedelic mood enhancing therapy from Facebook.
This is some serious word salad. It showed up on our feed more than once.
We watched the cyber symposium on stream. It sure was something.
We just now started getting these weird ads about how to get yourself out of Facebook Ad Jail or whatever. They’re all completely crazy and it seems likely that this is some kind of scam. We’ll keep an eye on it.
I am still collecting screen shots and you can expect more of these articles periodically, hopefully monthly. If you see these kinds of ads and want to help me with this project, please feel free to email them to echo@echoplexmedia.com or drop them in our Discord. If you’d like credit, just mention that you want your name or the name of your organization to be noted in the article and we’ll put it right under the picture so everyone knows you’re the lucky person who had your feed polluted.
