I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.

    Nobody has the time to thoroughly research EVERY business that wants to buy advertising.

    Wrong. Nobody wants to spend the money to do that, because they know they will not be held responsible for aiding and abetting fraud.

    Change the responsibility factor, and the money will be there.

        In the one hand though, if only the big corporations can afford ads, blocking them becomes even easier.
