Comment on Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer

Nice but all I want is actually liability. Meta should be hold liable for each and every single scam ad and here in south-east asia it’s just rampant.

I see nothing but blatant scams, especially on Meta platforms. I don’t mean simple e-commerce scams either where you buy some trash and it never gets sent to you - it’s full on phishing and finance scams.

I just dont understand how are we collectively ok with this - every platform should have the burden of full liability, period. If someone gets their money taken through scam ad not only Meta should pay them back but suffer a 100x fine as well. The unskippable ad is nothing compared to this.

Same with google in East Europe. Constantly seeing AI generated politicians pushing for scams.

I mean you seem to keep using those meta platforms. Sounds like you are okay with the scam ads then.

    They didn’t say stop participating in society they said stop using Metas plaforms which is actually a really easy thing to do.
    
    Unless you think Facebook/IG are society.

    No, but some public transit services, random service providers, random SMEs whose services I use communicate solely through Whatsapp.

At least 10% of their entire ad revenue comes from ads related to Scams or illegal things.

Please stop using those Meta platforms and stick sites like Bluesky or Lemmy.

  100% and I’m an early adopter of all decentralized platforms but I still run IT of my all extended family and have a few connections through these platforms so even with my limited use I’m still exposed to so many scams. I can’t imagine what a daily normal user sees, it must be just scam after scam.

  I’d love that, but I need Whatsapp to participate in society. Several companies, mostly SMEs in fact but also big ones won’t talk to me if not through Whatsapp.
