This is insane. This is one of dozens of Vote Leave ads that @facebook released to parliament today. That look completely illegal. There's no imprint on them. Nothing to say who paid for them. Or that they're even adverts. This is a whole new massive can of worms

1/of a shitload
Here's another question: legal? Or illegal?
It looks illegal to me. What say you @ElectoralCommUK? Your guidelines on this spelled it out, no?

("Stop animal abuse"? I think you meant VOTE LEAVE, didn't you @matthew_elliott? I mean: what the actual fuck?)
Look at this one!! No words, just images. The darkies are coming! And - remember - this was from Vote Leave. Which was supposedly the non-racist campaign. They got taxpayers' money to pay for this fyi. And they the DELIBERATELY BROKE THE LAW by leaving off who paid for it.
CAREFUL!
They may be BLACK PEOPLE coming!
Wow. How dark is this? Vote Leave targeted this at people anonymously on Facebook. A dark post in every sense.
Unbelievable. Look at this. @jeremycorbyn was used illicitly and it would seem illegally by Vote Leave to promote Brexit in Facebook dark ads. What do you think about that, Jezza? Now do you think there's a problem???
Look at this stuff. Fake fake fake news. It's not an ad. It's not labelled as an ad. It doesn't say who placed it or who paid for it or who it was targeted at or way. This is the fakiest of fake news. And until today we had no idea about any of this...
You know what. I am truly fed up of bashing the BBC. It is such a bad look. I'm just going to rest this here & let you make your own mind up about how it covered this

This is pure @BorisJohnson. Confected Euro-bollocks. And there's no imprint on it. No Vote Leave. No Boris... We're in a heatwave. The MPs have gone home. We're now talking about Brexit in terms of running out of blood. And @facebook has finally revealed its dirty dirty secret..
Most amazing is how this may be even worse than @Arron_banks & his Putin diamonds. We always thought they were there. But the official campaign's utter contempt for the rules & the ongoing cover-up by Vote Leave, by Facebook, by the government..is also gobsmacking, also shameless
Right adding to this because @veritasta points out that according to info released these had a frame or were on VL page. but £50 million ones had nothing. Biggest mystery tho is from @brexitshsam who points out Dom Cummings’ figures suggest these are only a fraction of ads served
Sorry, that’s @brexit_sham.
