Instead of promptly removing bad actors, Meta allowed “high value accounts” to “accrue more than 500 strikes without Meta shutting them down,” Reuters reported. The more strikes a bad actor accrued, the more Meta could charge to run ads, as Meta’s documents showed the company “penalized” scammers by charging higher ad rates. Meanwhile, Meta acknowledged in documents that its systems helped scammers target users most likely to click on their ads.
“If you’re going to scam our users we want a cut.”
I remember the internet era of the 90s/00s where piracy and porn sites had scammy ads and the legit sites were far more clean.
It seems to have completely reversed.
“Evil tech giant with a long history of being evil exploits its users for more money”.
So pathetic
And they haven’t changed at all.
