    The site that allowed Martin Lewis’s image to be used for scams?

    And he had to sue before he reached an out of court settlement to prevent them doing  so?

    I’m shocked I tell you..

  2. They also turned a blind eye to the Rohingya genocide, and covered up the results of internal research showing that their service causes harm to children. Facebook had a 17-strike policy for suspending an account for human sex trafficking.

    Meta also knows that ~10% of its revenue comes from selling advertising to scammers and ignoring user reports. High spending scammers could still operate despite being flagged by 500 users in some cases.  https://www.reuters.com/investigations/meta-is-earning-fortune-deluge-fraudulent-ads-documents-show-2025-11-06/

    I’d argue that most tech companies, big or small, ignore illegal ads. Imagine if Instagram went after all those influencers who “forgot” to tag their post as being an ad. Or if YouTube went after the companies creating ads that feature AI likenesses of people who didn’t consent, à la Martin Lewis. I doubt Reddit monitors half the shit that gets shilled on here either.

    Idk if there’s a law around it, but my tiny niblings who play very kiddy games (eg what colour is the banana?), get very adult ads served to them. I think this goes against Apple’s App Store T&Cs but clearly there’s very little enforcement around this.

    We only let them play paid games on their devices now but kids always find a way around things, even if they don’t mean to.
