    Its so easy to implement a half-decent KYC these days. Thers a bit of KYC already but it’s so basic any scammedr can get around it all easily.

    Meta in particular is so bad. I’ve been reporting straight up scam ads on threads for months now and they’re still there!

      Last week, as this discussion was getting media attention, Meta said that “most of those posts only stay up for 4-8 hours before the (uploader) deletes it, before we’ve had time to review”

      Dunno how truthful that statement is, but that really shows how easy it is to game their system

        Yes but they should have manual approval of every ad. I don’t think thats too much to ask but somehow they’ve convinced some people to think that way.
