Meta's policies prohibit ads that scam or impersonate public figures, yet such ads have flooded Facebook, specifically targeting Nigerians, according to Premium Times. These ads include deepfakes impersonating Nigerian public figures.
In a separate development, Florida's Attorney General, James Uthmeier, has asked a state judge to order changes to Instagram and Facebook to better protect young users. The lawsuit accuses Meta of harming teens and misleading consumers about its safety.
The proposed changes include identifying and removing users under 14, limiting teens to two hours a day across all apps, and turning off features like autoplay and infinite scroll for them, as reported by Economic Times Tech. A Meta spokesperson responded, saying Florida should focus on getting other platforms to take action.
