    It’s actually fairly simple. If a user notices a post in their feed from an account they don’t follow, they can simply click or tap on the three dot icon located in the upper right-hand corner of the specific post. This will open a drop-down menu.

    However, if the post is an ad, this menu provides additional options. … “Not interested in this ad,” … “Report ad” … “Why this ad?”

    You bet your ass that they are going to get rid of those options.

      I noticed people have been putting community notes on ads, I wonder how long that’s going to last.
