So basically the silk road moved to Instagram & Telegram... pretty ballsy, I wonder how much of it is honey potting?
That's a pretty good deal for a hot Nina with all the fixings... also I see a lot of fentanyl pills in those listings.

My facebook ads are almost always drugs. microdose ketamine study, psilocybin mushroom kits, CBD/THC gummies, online doctor visits for generic Lexapro...
Dang I need some of those mushrooms and ketamine microdosing.
Mindbloom advertises ketamine microdosing. I can't imagine that it isn't either a scam or a honeypot.

Yeah I get a lot of those as well. Anxiety, ADHD, and autism stuff mostly. I keep shooting down the ads as I suffer from none of these things. No idea why it keeps pushing that crap.
Preamble to the shitty internet bills that will get passed on a holiday weekend at 2am?
Where I live it's largely the same though on facebook marketplace and not on instagram. Counterfeit money, weapons (which are almost completely illegal where I live, even basic non-lethal things like pepper spray and tasers) and more than anything prostitution. The thing is, these are "sponsored ads" which are all supposedly screened and approved manually. Also you can report them and Facebook won't take them down.
Before someone suggests it cause I've seen this response a couple times in this thread already: No, I am not searching those things or related products on Facebook or elsewhere on the web.
Also Met's estimate that only 1 out of every 2000 ads violates their policy is straight up laughable. There's no way they themselves believe that. I would say at least 25% of the ads I see are of this nature. Literally dozens a day.
