Facebook can add a tin ear to its brass neck in its catalogue of deficiencies with this ill-judged and ill-timed ad boasting of the measures the company takes to prevent bullying "not just online but also offline".

Sorry Sandhya from Brighton – I fear you’re contributing to advertising’s trust deficit. And don’t get me started on Facebook’s tax arrangements…
