FACEBOOK USERS UNITE- We are building user power to hold Facebook accountable. Together we can WIN changes for our communities and beyond

404Media, the new home of what was Vice-Motherboard, has a podcast. This week's edition focuses on criminal ads on #Instagram. subscribe.transistor.fm/726ceeff2035f1…
