Meta's processes can be deeply weird.
I reported a Facebook ad for an app that exploits a known WhatsApp vulnerability.
The ad was deleted and gone (not just for me - I checked with friends elsewhere) in seconds. As I said, it's a known exploit, so that's what I expected.
What I didn't expect was any thanks from Meta for alerting them. Nor did I get any.
What I also didn't expect was a notification (which I did get) two weeks later that their review process had rejected my "complaint" as it had found nothing wrong with the ad.
The ad page is still listed as deleted, so it's difficult to tell whether this is merely bureaucratic bungling or the system is so royally screwed that it's being overridden by external influences.
Are users being actively discouraged from reporting problems?
