How do they translate the site or sell ads there?

Historically, FB used to let users translate the site (presumably they don't do this any more).

And yeah, Cambodia is not a large ad market (not enough rich people) so it's unlikely that they have a sales team based there.

Musing out loud: I wonder if FB knows who the Cambodian elite are, and have targetted marketing for them, probably in English.

Geez, if I had a social network and no morals and no fears of getting caught (or the fines are cheaper than the possible profits), I'd quietly try to sell "eyeball access" to high net-worth invidivuals, who I can easily find in the database. Although who'd want this access, aren't Facebook ads just mostly scams nowadays?

(I just realize I get a lot of ads on Instagram, and most of them look legit enough)
