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.

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.
