"Instead of quickly addressing the issue and fully removing the illicit content, the Journal reported on July 31 that Meta again was 'running ads on Facebook and Instagram that steer users to online marketplaces for illegal drugs.'"
"Meta appears to have continued to shirk its social responsibility and defy its own community guidelines. Protecting users online, especially children and teenagers, is one of our top priorities," the lawmakers wrote.
"We are continuously concerned that Meta is not up to the task and this dereliction of duty needs to be addressed," they continued.
"Many of these ads contained blatant references to illegal drugs, and it is particularly egregious that the advertisements were approved and monetized by Meta."
