A Facebook ad isn't a bot though. There are bot farm services out there but a Facebook ad just puts your profile/link (whatever it is you want to advertise) on the side bar or at the top of the newsfeed of the audience you're trying to target. I don't know what the person you're screenshotting has set to target so can't comment on that.

What Facebook ads are actually meant for is to either get your FB page and brand out there (like what I did with a fb ad campaign and totally regret it btw) or to take people to a landing page for email sign up. Taking them to a link that is neither of the above seems to me like a waste of money and you're basically promoting the platform itself. It's like paying for an advert to show your Soundcloud page - not much point in my personal opinion and experience but to each their own.

I did spend a LONG time last night reading the terms and conditions of service on their website and I have to say, I couldn't see anything in there that says they are liable for anything really. Including if the website just totally shut down and they went off. The immediate ban thing is mentioned if an account is found to be "breaching the terms and conditions" but I do think they should freeze or "lock" accounts rather than a straight up ban - put it into some sort of "under investigation" status. They absolutely could have done it better as I am just seeing little glimpses here and there of the backlash (I can't spend my whole time online so don't see the ins and outs).

I'm on the fence with it all.
