Do you believe that huge companies like Google and Facebook care about what is on there website if there making money. If you thought know then you were right. These two big companies seem to allow racist and anti- Semitic ads to appear on their page for the right price. People have the ability to buy ads for money and post them without any background check as to what these people were actually posting. People might be thinking why these companies would let these people post whatever they want, it is because purchasing ads is a multi billion dollar business and these companies ignore there morals to make themselves more money. This is a extremely troubling sign because without regulation as to what people could post, people could spread racist hate and other hateful agendas and they have the possibility to change people in a negative way because these companies only really care about the money they could make off of these ads.

Considering that these hateful ads can be spread around the internet for a cheap fee, who says that some ads can’t be used to help promote violence such as terrorism. Facebook and Google really need to do something to stop this, even if that means making less money. These ads could possible cause people harm and could have possibly been used to inflict harm on people already. This is starting to look like a new form of propaganda that almost everyone is beginning to utilize.
