Meta Accused of Letting AI Scammers Run Wild

Meta Faces Allegations of Failing to Control AI-Driven Scams

Several users recount how companies exploited Meta’s platforms using images of non-existent people paired with fabricated biographies.

Deceptive Practices Using AI-Created Personas

Many victims report being targeted by entities that create false accounts featuring entirely artificial profiles. These accounts use AI-generated images and false personal histories to gain trust and carry out scams.

“The profiles looked so real, it was impossible to tell they were fake,” shared one victim.

Impact on Users and the Platform

This misuse leads to widespread confusion, mistrust, and vulnerability among social media users. Despite Meta’s policies, AI-generated deceptive sellers appear to operate unchecked, undermining user safety and platform integrity.

“It feels like Meta is turning a blind eye while these AI sellers run rampant,” noted another affected person.

Calls for Stricter Oversight

Victims and experts urge Meta to implement stronger safeguards against AI-generated fake profiles and deceptive practices to protect users and restore confidence.
