Rest of World: Meta is letting scams run rampant on its platforms in Singapore
After a 50% increase in scams in 2023, Singapore authorities say Meta isn’t doing enough to stop the explosion in fraud.
Via Adrianna Tan @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io who notes that:
Singapore is already covered with signs like 'if 'women' online are promising you naked photos in return for gift cards / credits, it is a SCAM'
And the fraud situation is getting worse because of Meta
But, I mean, if you look at any of the ads running on Facebook ya realize that this isn't exactly a Singapore or catfishing limited phenomenon. Meta is a company built on exploiting human weaknesses in order to facilitate scammy commerce and advertising.
