The opposite is super useful to do though! If you see an ad for something wholesome running against far-right dogshit, report it. Let the advertiser know their ads are being run against unsafe/brand-damaging content, so they can stop funding the far right. cf checkmyads, media matters etc.

Hit Meta where it hurts: in the advertisers.
I’ve got really bad news for Americans, Meta doesn’t give a fuck about you. Most of their user growth is in Asia (specifically India). The best way for you to affect Meta is to pressure brands to drop them for advertising.
