As reported on by CBC news and others:

It seems quite obvious that Facebook knows and doesn't care, because it's revenue.

I know Snap might not be that popular here, but what is your experience with Snap ads? Same amount of scam or more?

Makes me want to use Facebook and Instagram less. Their ads are infuriating.

Someone should set up an AI agent that clicks around Facebook, detects scam ads, reports them to Facebook, and then, if it still sees the same ad an hour later, file a lawsuit. One per ad. Demand that they preserve records related to how many other people may have seen that ad.

When a business like meta turns to scummy/scammy revenue sources it signals that their core business has serious problems.
