I saw an instagram ad the other day offering to buy established Reddit accounts, presumably so that can post fake reviews.

I also got offered some money over telegram to review a hotel from a large chain and leave a positive review.

Governments should block Instagram and Facebook until they start doing something about ads about ilegal offerings.

I've seen ads selling fake clothes, real clothes but with a fake store, money exchange scams, and a few others.
