Product placement
Facebook: ACTS - it is a platform where users can list items for sale, and it is shown here as a platform that questions the authenticity of items. Removing it would change the narrative of the video. Depop: ACTS - it is a platform where users can list items for sale, and it is shown here as a platform that suspends accounts. Removing it would change the narrative of the video. Instagram: ACTS - it is a platform where users can list items for sale, and it is shown here as a platform that cannot find a user. Removing it would change the narrative of the video.
