The headline and byline from your links:

“British American Tobacco circumventing ad ban”

“Smoking giants are flouting rules set by Facebook and Instagram”

As always, regardless of the digital or print medium, Big Tobacco (& others) have always tried to flout the rules. Same goes for Alcohol and Gambling ad bans.

What is incorrect about those statements? FB are paying influencers to advertise tobacco on Facebook and Instagram.

Yes, it’s proving hard to enforce a ban, but are we supposed to be sympathetic to Facebook?
