Comparing the money made by meta to the amount of value stolen via burglaries is not a vibe based argument.
I think it is, why are we comparing burglaries to digital crimes when the latter is likely far more common?
And the ads are not only fraud as the post alleges. It’s fraud and banned goods. The sale of the latter isn’t stringently prosecuted since in most cases it’s a victimless crime. It is quite easy to buy drugs illegally on the internet.

Because Meta shares a huge responsibility for making the digital crimes easy to do. According to their own analysts their platforms are third of involved in a third of all successful scams in the U.S.
This isn’t just about ads but also about other communication, but it should be Meta’s responsibility to provide an environment for their users that doesn’t make them prime targets for crime.
Digital crime proliferation is a sign of big tech failing customers by not adequately protecting them.
