I am not shocked. I recently had a completely legitimate experience with Facebook, no fraud or anything.

My wife opened a restaurant a few months back. We're paying for Facebook ads. The early months of operating a food business is burning massive cash, so we had a ~10 dollar payment get rejected on FB ads.

Something about this rejected payment enabled all prior ad campaigns we had disabled. We are still trying to figure it out - noticed it just today. We're in for ~85 dollars in ad campaigns for just 2 days.

Every stupid bug or dark pattern which makes a big tech company money does not get fixed. It will take getting hauled in front of congress to fix it.

You are very lucky they didn’t attempt to take you for thousands, or tens of thousands

That's literal robbery

I am keeping a list of all the things that happen like this. We noticed a weird thing with GrubHub and I told my wife, "I bet they claim it's a bug". They did.

Small businesses are prey for tech companies. That's what it feels like.
