Does Facebook know that these are employment ads? Should they add a checkbox to their ad posting system so that the user can tell them that they are advertising for a product or a job posting?

As another example - should Facebook be legally responsible if I use their service to send death threats to someone? If not, why is that case different?

They are an enabler and should. Otherwise they will be regulated like the telecom companies and turned into a public utility.

Government will have to step in.

Of course Facebook knows that they are running employment ads. They don't know _which_ ads are employment ads, because they are not paying anyone to look at the ILLEGAL advertisements they know that they are running.

"But having humans review ads doesn't scale!" says someone with a financial position in online advertising.

Meanwhile, the massive profits of the online advertising companies have forced them to 'pivot' into real estate holding companies, during a period of persistent underemployment and stagnant wage growth.

Yep. Nothing can be done. We have to wait for artificial intelligence to save the day. It would simply cut into profits too much to follow the law.
