Meta sued for 'aiding and abetting' crypto scammers

Facebook can get away with not being the "publisher" of their users' posts from an editorial perspective, but they definitely are the publishers of their ads, with all the responsibilities that entails.

If it is impossible to adequately review all of their ads because the gathering is fully automated, then their business model isn't viable and they need to be shut down.

The same goes for all tech companies that managed to automate away responsibility in this or that field. This cannot be considered acceptable just because it's really convenient and profitable.
