"Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day.
But the company only bans advertisers if its automated systems predict the marketers are at least 95% certain to be committing fraud, the documents show. If the company is less certain – but still believes the advertiser is a likely scammer – Meta charges higher ad rates as a penalty, according to the documents. The idea is to dissuade suspect advertisers from placing ads."
Genuinely Meta has to be one of the most disgusting policies on the planet

- Start With Substance – Identify concrete problems, propose clear solutions, and explain the mechanisms of power and change, rather than offering vague promises.
- Win Attention Through Conflict – Engage in confrontations strategically, using them to highlight material struggles like rent, transit, and childcare, rather than culture wars or performative disputes.
- Let Style Serve Substance – Maintain a confident, approachable presence that reinforces the message, avoiding curated performance or influencer-style posturing.
- Meet Culture With Competence and Conviction – Address contentious issues directly, showing moral clarity and practical judgment, then pivot back to core city policies, linking inclusion and justice to actionable governance.
- Keep the Loop Small Enough to Echo – Maintain a focused, repeatable set of core priorities (affordability, transit, childcare, cost of living) to anchor messaging and make it coherent under media pressure.
