Thai watchdog to sue Meta over Facebook scam ads targeting users

Thailand’s consumer watchdog said it will sue ​Meta’s Facebook for allegedly ​allowing scammers to use the platform to ​defraud users through adverts and for failing to protect consumers, the Consumer Council said on Thursday.

Meta did not immediately respond to a ‌Reuters request ⁠for comment. ⁠In previous cases, the company has said it invests in measures ​to detect and remove scam content and works with regulators and ​law enforcement to combat misuse of its platforms.
