---- Facebook Moves To Take Action Against Deceptive Ads

One category of deceptive ad I'm seeing is false geographic localization. The ad determines the location from the IP address, and then enhances the ad with text like, "YourCity Woman Loses 50 Lbs." Just about any ad can be "improved" in this way - the hot blonde in the dating ad happens to be from YourCity, the guy who makes $1211.43 a day online is down the street in YourCity, and so on.

These are so transparent as to be silly, but I wouldn't expect reputable sites to allow them. Surprisingly, plenty of big sites do.
