Using Boost for Lemmy, I got an obvious political ad from the right asking to sign a petition to scrap the gun “ban” in Canada (it’s a registry not a ban).

Now I understand this is an ad but I don’t appreciate having propaganda from the right injected into my browsing on lemmy. Have better ads, or let us report them.

      It’s not the point. The point is that those 'ads" are spreading misinformation.

        that just comes with the territory at the moment, which is why i either pay for ad removal (one-time payments only), use open source alternatives and use an adblocker.
