Congress asks Zuckerberg why drug dealers are advertising on Facebook

We know why the dealers are doing it, we mean why the Meta boss is seemingly allowing it.                               [The Morning After]( It's Friday, August 16, 2024. Congress can’t get enough of the Meta boss. Nineteen members of Congress are now pressing Mark Zuckerberg to explain why Meta has allowed [ads for cocaine, ecstasy and other drugs]( both Facebook and Instagram. It comes after the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) used Meta’s ad library to find 450 Instagram and Facebook ads that included “photos of prescription drug bottles, piles of pills and powders or bricks of cocaine.” In the letter addressed directly to Zuckerberg, the lawmakers wrote that they wanted details about Meta’s policies for enforcing rules against drug-related ads and about how many times people viewed and interacted with the ads. Congress gave Meta a deadline of September 6 to reply. — Mat Smith The biggest stories you might have missed [Arizona Sunshine Remake brings the undead back to VR with enhanced graphics]( [Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 review: Still the king of business laptops]( [Researchers claim most Google Pixel phones shipped with exploitable bloatware since 2017]( ​​You can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox.
