How Facebook Marketplace designers must've feltDon’t plug a Facebook Marketplace snafu search into Twitter. Just don’t do it. Let’s just say that Twitter, too, needs humans to oversee algorithms and get rid of NSFW videos.

On Monday, Facebook rolled out its version of classified ads, Craigslist, eBay or whatever competitor you’d like to use to compare to the new Marketplace app. The thing is, Facebook didn’t expect sellers to be offering sex, guns and babies among the products and services. Neither did I, really. Yesterday, I wrote a story about how Facebook was approaching world domination because its content marketing keeps consumers tuned-in.

Now, not so much.

Sure, every company’s C-suite likes to keep profit margins, but come on! Add some human oversight, here. You’re on the Internet, Facebook. You know how it works. Doesn’t this remind you, just a little bit, of the problems you had with the trending section including fake news after laying off editors?

Products and services mean different things to different people. And sure, most marketers are on the level.

Then there’s the stuff Nicole Lyn Pesce of the New York Daily News found for sale.

“Just hours after launching its ecommerce section on Monday, the social media giant stalled the rollout and furiously apologized for the flurry of sexual solicitations, illegal drugs, weapons — and even babies — that flooded the mobile app store,” she writes. http://www.targetmarketingmag.com/article/oops-sex-guns-babies-sell-facebooks-marketplace/
