UK gambling czar says Meta turns blind eye to illegal ads
""If you are using the same suppliers, such as web hosting companies, as the majority of illegal websites, then you are helping to build the illegal market," he said. "And, if you are marketing your products through platforms, including social media, that also promote illegal online casinos, then you are helping to build the illegal market.""
""Companies like Meta will tell you that they don't tolerate the advertising of illegal sites and will remove them if they are notified about them," he said. "But that approach suggests that they don't know about thos"
"If we can find them, then so can Meta: They simply choose not to look"
Tim Miller, executive director of the UK's Gambling Commission, accused Meta of lying about its ability to proactively detect operators of illegal casinos advertising on its services. He said illegal gambling operations offering alternatives make regulator oversight harder and called for licensed operators to ensure clear blue water between their services and others. Regulators are increasingly identifying suppliers, affiliates, advertisers and tech companies that work with licensed operators while providing the same services to the illegal market. Using the same suppliers or marketing through platforms that promote illegal online casinos helps to build the illegal market.
