There are no laws which say a company has to be transparent and accurate when discussing its moderation systems.
- lmm 4y agoGiven that people pay to advertise on facebook, any false statements they make about their moderation systems via the internet almost certainly constitute wire fraud.
- pavlov 4y agoYou make that claim with a high level of confidence, but have you actually read the contract in place between Meta and the advertiser?
- lmm 4y agoNo, but I've read the relevant section of the USC. Statutes override contracts, you can't contract out of being bound by the law of the land.
- etchalon 4y agoIt would almost certainly not.
- nocoiner 4y agoAs Matt Levine says, “everything is securities fraud,” and this is probably the area of greatest exposure for a company with a substantial degree of departure between their stated practices and their actual practices. It’s not likely to be more than a nuisance to defend and not terribly expensive to settle, but an enterprising plaintiff’s lawyer could probably find a cause of action that passes summary judgment.
