Page 2 of 2

While Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) does not usually release information about its ad-placement algorithm, the two companies noted that it seemed their ads were pretty regularly being slotted very close to this offensive content – some of the ads showing up in screenshots about the offensive content, which of course is like taking a picture for posterity.

We will have to see how the algorithm gets altered so that these ads don’t appear on those pages, and what Facebook will ultimately do to try to police its pages better. While Facebook does not have control over what its users post, there is certainly a push for Facebook to monitor and police its pages more thoroughly and delete posts or whole pages in a timely and efficient manner.
