In a fresh wave of controversy surrounding social media regulations, the city of Santa Clara is taking Meta to task for allegedly failing to effectively curb scam ads on its platforms. This move comes on the heels of a landmark ruling in the US, where judges held social media giants accountable for their roles in spreading misinformation and scams. Santa Clara officials claim that despite these increased expectations, Meta has not done enough to crack down on deceptive advertising practices. The city is now seeking a court order to force Meta to take more drastic measures to protect its residents from these malicious ads.
Santa Clara accuses Meta of failing to regulate scam adds, months after landmark ruling against social media giants.
