Nauti's Take
Systematic documentation by an independent watchdog is progress, because it makes the quality of ad review measurable in the first place. The scale is the real risk: with millions of ads cleared automatically, a tiny error rate still adds up to hundreds of cases slipping through.
Anyone advertising on Meta platforms should verify brand safety and placement context themselves rather than trusting the platform filters alone.
