A recent investigation revealed that ads for illicit drugs, gambling, and scams are commonly found on Facebook and Instagram, particularly those linking to the messaging app Telegram.
Telegram's lenient content policies allow users to connect with ads that violate Meta's guidelines, highlighting a disconnect in content moderation across platforms.
Researchers discovered that over half of the sampled ads linking to Telegram on Meta's platforms could be considered violations of advertising policies, raising concerns about enforcement.
The swift removal of problematic ads from Meta's Ad Library demonstrates a reactive approach to content control, often only after public scrutiny or research exposure.
