Comment on POV: Health Misinformation Is Rampant on Social Media
otter@lemmy.ca 4 months agoYep, my experience:
- Reddit: decent with reports, they often act (on certain report types) and give you an update when something is done
- Facebook/Instagram: most of the time there’s no reply, and when there is a reply it’s “doesn’t violate anything”. Only once did I get something removed, and it was a direct threat to another user in the comment section
- Google/YouTube: Never hear back about anything. The reports go straight into a trashcan for all I know

I kept getting epoch times ads telling me how trans people were a threat to civilization. Kept reporting it and kept getting it. Finally in the report box I wrote that I am starting to call up Epoch times and yell at them about the YouTube ads now. The ads stopped, I am not sure if it worked or not, could be unrelated. If it happens again I will try.
