It is revealed that Meta earned over 2 billion yen from scam ads targeting older adults

CCDH says Meta earned at least $14.3 million from Medicare-related scam ads, many aimed at users over 65.

The ads often used celebrity and political deepfakes, including figures like Trump, Biden, Oprah Winfrey, and Brad Pitt.

Repeat offenders reportedly kept reappearing after removal, suggesting weak enforcement on Facebook and Instagram.

The findings raise concerns that Meta’s ad systems let fraudulent campaigns reach seniors while generating revenue from them.
