NEWS: Meta is secretly making BILLIONS from scam ads! Last year Meta made $16 BILLION (10% of all their money) from ads related to scams, illegal gambling & banned stuff. A new lawsuit from the Consumer Federation of America claims Meta knew about all the scam ads on Facebook and Instagram but let them spread anyway. They even charged the scammers extra money to show those fake ads. And the whole time, Meta lied to regular users, saying they were “protecting” them. Americans lose $119 BILLION every year to online scams! They’re being sued for violating D.C. consumer protection laws, and the group is demanding Meta pay back the illegal profits they made from these scam ads. As Americans lose more and more money to online scams, Meta has consistently chosen to prioritize profit over the safety of their users,” said Ben Winters, Director of AI and Data Privacy.
