Wonder what bubble you're in, I've been seeing a Facebook attack article easily 3-4 times a month for the last three years. I want to see Bytedance's CEO in front of Congress. Whereas anti TikTok is a recent (and much needed)

The more basic explanation is that she has been served ads for puzzles like that for a while, based on previous history and maybe retargeting from the company and you guys only notice the ad because it's more salient after sending a me
