Meta Is Facing Another Lawsuit Over Scam Ads On Facebook and Instagram

Santa Clara County has sued Meta, alleging Facebook and Instagram profited from a large ecosystem of scam ads.

The complaint says the ads targeted seniors and other vulnerable users, including Medicare-related schemes.

Meta denied the allegations, saying it removes scam ads and works with law enforcement.

The case increases legal pressure on Meta and could broaden accountability for scam advertising on major platforms.
