Advertisement of fake news channels that put out fake news
And posts that are fake should be marked as such within a short time.

I see it this way it’s illegal to sell counterfeit items marketing them as real
Places like Facebook make money off of us using their services
Hence to me they are marketing
So should not be allowed to sell fake ads

I know of no laws on this it’s just how I feel
I get so angry when I’m on a website and see what looks like a real news site only it’s spilling fake news or fake ads about things
