> Cracking down on scam ads: not sure what this means, but fraud is fraud whether it's on the internet or not. This feels like more outsourcing of law enforcement to companies. If there are complaints about scam ads, then law enforcement should investigate, with subpoenas if needed, and prosecute. Does there need to be a separate law for this?
If a newspaper printed adverts to put your life savings into some NFT scam with a picture of Martin Lewis endorsing it, they would find themselves sued out of business very quickly.
That doesn't seem to apply to facebook though.
- djoldman 4y agoI'm not sure the laws governing those two scenarios are different... are they? How much liability does a print newspaper have for its ad content?
