A new watchdog report from the Tech Transparency Project unveils over 80 Facebook groups operating as a black market for Uber and DoorDash accounts, with membership exceeding 800,000. These groups enable users to obtain rideshare and delivery accounts without passing necessary background checks, posing significant safety risks to riders and customers, particularly vulnerable individuals. The report highlights ongoing concerns over Facebook's content moderation practices as Meta is criticized for its failure to effectively manage such illegal activities, especially following a reduction in third-party fact-checking.
"For women or people who may be vulnerable, if the person making a delivery or picking somebody up via Uber has a criminal history, there is an increased risk to those users."
"This concern is only the latest content moderation issue in a broader pattern with Facebook and Meta, revealing how the platform is being exploited for scams and potential election interference."
