Pretty sure Google does too.

Just fucking regulate them. If somebody gets scammed…make Facebook pay for part of the restitution.
This is what happens when companies “self regulate”. The strategy is basically “we’ll do absolutely nothing to hurt revenue…but we’ll absolutely pretend we’re doing something”.
The only way Facebook is going to hire actual people to look at random ads before they’re posted…which is the only thing that will work…is if they pay a steep enough penalty when people get scammed.
No matter what we will not tolerate this. I urge everyone to stop "tolerating" meta and boycott their products like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Also install uBlock Origin and block all the ads.
My mother…boomers and a lot of Gen X…are completely addicted to Facebook. They find it essential because of all its lame social organizing groups and marketplace…so they end up also getting all their information from it…information mixed with these scams.
The best you can do is help them install uBlock Origin and FB/Insta Lite (not great options, but better than the mainline apps).
The only thing I use it for is marketplace and that is shit. I wish my American Legion post would stop using it.
Same goes for google. I initially refused to believe it, but after seeing with my own eyes them telling me "This does not go against ToS" after clearly showing them AI generated president of my country advertising crypto scams really convinced me
Dead platform full of bots clings desperately to life by selling out the attention spans of the remaining few users too oblivious to notice the pot boiling.
Amazon also endorses fraud. Found a product which had a blatant lie in the description and specification pages but do you think I can find the report product button? Absolutely no where to be found.
Haha, what a bunch of lol propaganda. It just gets thicker and thicker. Baad baad Chinese, West good :)
Are you illiterate? This post is about meta, an American company. Chinese involvement is meaningless for us in this case
This is literally a post about a western company being terrible.
What did I expect anyway, this is an .ml user after all. Get back to licking genocidal boots I guess.
I'm sorry this was already posted on world@lemmy.world. I tried deleting it but it was still showing up under cross-posted to so I ended up undeleting it. I'm not sure if that was the right action to take.
