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.

I decided to cast my vote for Daniel Chung for #santaclara County DA, because he explicitly criticizes the current DA’s charging of the Stanford protestors against with felonies.

Donald Trump is a loser, and he and the GOP can't escape his failures. How are they messing up right now?

Trump is threatening to pull troops from multiple countries, weakening the US, destroying our ability to station and refuel, and in general screwing things up. https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-threatens-spain-pedro-sanchez-and-italy-giorgia-meloni-with-us-troops-withdrawal/

The GOP electeds still bow before Trump and his Ballroom even as his popularity plummets. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-approval-sinks-record-low-war-with-iran-drives-cost-of-living-concerns-2026-04-28/

Lindsey Graham wants YOU to pay for Trump's ballroom. https://democrats.org/news/lindsey-graham-asks-taxpayers-to-foot-the-bill-for-trumps-ballroom/

The Ballroom - and Trump's other vanity projects - are unpopular. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/04/30/washington-post-poll-trump-ballroom/

Meanwhile while you pay for the Ballroom you're paying more at the pump and facing inflation. https://apnews.com/article/consumer-prices-gas-inflation-5c2037950e57d8e5d402a40b8fc41384
