The U.S. Virgin Islands has sued Meta Platforms, alleging the social media giant knowingly profits from scam advertisements and fails to protect users, including children. The lawsuit, citing a Reuters report, claims Meta's algorithms are too lenient on fraudulent advertisers and that the company misleads the public about its safety efforts. Meta denies these allegations, stating it actively combats fraud and prioritizes user safety. The case seeks penalties for violating consumer laws, with U.S. senators also calling for regulatory investigation.
