The Guardian | Meta profited from illegal scam ads, California county lawsuit alleges by Reuters AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. California’s Santa Clara County has filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms, alleging the company profited from illegal scam ads on Facebook and Instagram in violation of the state’s false‑advertising and unfair‑business‑practice laws. The complaint, based on leaked internal documents, claims Meta earned up to $7 billion annually from “high‑risk” scam ads and that it largely tolerated such fraudulent advertising rather than broadly cracking down on it, even setting “guardrails” that limited anti‑scam measures when they threatened revenue. The county seeks restitution, civil damages, and an injunction to stop Meta’s alleged misconduct, accusing the firm of enabling middlemen to sell protected ad accounts, targeting users who previously clicked scam offers, and using generative AI to facilitate deceptive ads. Meta says it will defend itself, arguing the lawsuit misrepresents its anti‑scam efforts.
