The bipartisan coalition of 19 House lawmakers is demanding answers from Meta regarding the persistence of illicit drug advertisements on its platforms, citing ongoing revenue from such ads.
Lawmakers highlighted that Meta's advertisements not only promote illegal substances but are also blatantly visible and approved by the company, raising serious ethical concerns.
Their letter mentioned earlier findings that showed users could easily purchase illegal drugs through Meta's sites, calling attention to the company's repeated failures to address the problem.
Particularly alarming is the impact these ads have on young users amid the ongoing fentanyl crisis, emphasizing the urgent need for Meta to take responsibility.
