@campuscodi When I was on FB, I tried reporting the scam ads, but they got their coin and didn't care. It's appalling.
@kimlockhartga @campuscodi Yeah, only once did they accept/ act on my report and the same scam company was back not six months later. That was probably 2016ish.

Dear f***ing lord!
Nearly one every three Meta ads showed in the EU and UK over 23 days pointed to online scams
This should be the easiest layup for govt agencies in the history of enforcements

I guess the main difficulty is for ministers and regulators to resist those brown envelopes of cash and post-politics job offers.

@campuscodi so as a company advertising on it i should be able to claim that Facebook is intentionally inflating the marketplace impacting my Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)!

@campuscodi They've already factored in the cost of government enforcement. I don't have the exact numbers, but they calculated that at most they'd lose something like 10% of the revenue from the scam ads due to enforcement, so it was worth it to keep allowing them.
I'm not saying that governments shouldn't crack down on this, but I don't think we can expect enforcement to make a difference until laws are changed that make the enforcement actually meaningful, until then they'll keep exposing their users to scams, and they'll keep profiting, while paying a small enforcement tax.

@campuscodi It's almost as if profit motive is incongruent to public good.
I hate what we've done to the world.

Conclusion: Companies like this basically are responsibly for screwing up our internet beyond repair. Mark Z has been at the absolute firefront of that.Having established that, though.. People still using his stuff today can no longer say they don't know. So they are aiding and abetting.

@campuscodi I have long felt advertising standards for broadcast television need to be applied to online platforms. The same issue with scams and stolen likenesses, fake endorsements, etc on Youtube.
