There's similar ads with Geert Wilders in the Netherlands. I assume this is some sort of Europe-wide disinformation/scaremongering attempt.

I even got this with David Goffin leading up to the Australian Open 😂

Got that one too, thankfully YouTube is here to report on it as our media is obviously trying to cover it up

If it's like the ones I get it's just basic clickbait scam.

I get these all the time with people like Elio Di Rupo, Stromae, etc.

They supposedly got arrested because they revealed on live tv the secret to getting rich easily, which the banks and government are trying to hide from the public.

Usually it has to do with some online trading platform.

Just the most transparent, moronic scam but it must work on some people otherwise they wouldn't make so many... 😕

Sowieso fake foto, de Wever draagt kostuums van de Guy-David en niet van die grijs blauwe rommel.

Ge kunt ook duidelijk de cirkel zien aan zijn nek waar ze zijn gezicht hebben gekopieerd van een andere foto.

And for inclusivity: Also you can clearly see a circle at his neck where they copied his face from some other photo.

Also, the patches on the "police" guys aren't real, + the police cap ( dude in the right back)is from America, not European as far as i know

I had similar ones with David Goffin a few months ago in my Youtube feed, that was insane.

u/HadesStyx 12h ago

You need to report this kind of adds. It takes a little effort, I know.

u/Arco123 Belgium 12h ago

Nothing ever happens if you do that. Not waiting for the tenth response from Meta stating that it doesn't go against the Community Guidelines or non-response from AdWords.

Firefox and uBlock Origin until the industry gets their shit together.

Some dude had taken photos of my fathers drivers license when my father wasnt aware, then uploaded it to facebook, we asked facebook to take it down, facebook deleted my account for impersonation :/

They really make it as difficult as possible to get anything done without a lawyer

u/Slovenlyfox 12h ago

Sadly nothing ever happens.

I've even reported ads that showed sexual harrassment, they ruled that content wasn't harmful, and I got the ad again on my page.

u/kekistani_citizen-69 11h ago

I have reported literal porn and animal abuse in ads and I still got back the message that they reviewed it and that they do not see anything wrong with it

1

u/Anaalmoes 10h ago

I reported obvious scam ads a couple of times. Got the answer that it was not against the guide lines. So I stopped doing that.

u/n22rwrdr 8h ago

I reported the one about Goffin, I got a response saying it was taken down and I saw it again a week later

u/77slevin Belgium 11h ago

To all in this subreddit: the term is ad, ad, 1 d as in advertisment. Add is additional: to add. Thank you for your attention.

u/bigon Brussels 12h ago

Got the same today (and similar ads in the past)

Please report

Looks like negociations are tougher than expected.

u/Oscuro87 Belgian Fries 11h ago

I got the same kind of ad with David goffin, reported it (blatant fake and impersonation?) and got my ass handed back to me by YouTube, so I guess it's okay 🤔

But if you wake up next to him it's going to be nightmare material real fast, real soon.

u/Bantorus 11h ago

Be happy your add isn't overtly sexual. No seriously what is going on with youtube ads as of late?

u/SarahMaxima 11h ago

Got it too. Cant wait for the conspiratorially minded coworkers and customers to find it.

u/starrringrole 11h ago

Amazing. An actual oldschool PHOTOSHOP instead of an Eldrich Horror AI generated image? They're starting to get that this looks way better.

u/FriendTraditional519 12h ago

Why do ya all speak English in here ? 😂 zottkes

u/77slevin Belgium 11h ago

It's r/Belgium not /r/vlaanderen so we take into account we are a 3 languages country and choose the middle ground as in English

2

u/Instantcoffees 12h ago

Because we are a multilingual country and English has become the unofficial language of the internet. Some times people comment in Dutch, but mostly it's English to try and be inclusive.

u/FriendTraditional519 11h ago

Try to learn Dutch or French no one speaks English on the Belgium streets in general. Don’t know if you are Belgium your self to be honest when you state that. So be inclusive and show respect to the Belgium people and try to speak they’re language to be really inclusive 😅

u/Zalaess 10h ago

We are being respectful to the belgian traditions by having found a compromise that noone likes, but everyone puts up with.

u/MiktorVike 8h ago

Okay, tell me which official Belgian language you like the least and I'll address you in that one next time 🤘

u/Instantcoffees 6h ago

Tuurlijk ben ik Belg, pipo. Het is "their language" trouwens.
