"We have identified more than 46,000 #ads, approved and delivered by #Meta to European users more than 292 million times, these products generally promoting dubious #medicines or ‘remedies’ not approved by national or European #health bodies."

Yet another data point to show how dangerous the current #RTB-based #SurveillanceAds industry is.

Meta's Failing Ad Moderation: Health Scams Targeting EU Users

This report uncovers Meta's systemic failure to moderate health-related scam advertisements. We identified over 46,000 advertisements promoting unapproved drugs and making deceptive health claims that reached European users 292+ million times. These ads violated Meta's own standards and potentially infringe on multiple DSA provisions regarding consumer protection and public health.
