I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.

    You can’t print whole books if your costumer asks you to without having permission to do so, you would be a distributor. If you ask the question “if I do something illegal or harmful to someone, should I be taken responsibility?” you can get a better answer. You don’t need a third party to take ethical decisions for you. That’s the point of the thread, ad companies have knowledge about harmful ads and refuse to take them down.

      What if I decide to print my own book? A book that has no copyright at all, should the print shop prevent me from doing so?

      As you (hopefully) can see a print shop has no job enforcing the law just as much as an advertiser has to

      Enforcing the law is for law enforcement
