@MattNavarra Meta should buy “Meta Verified” for Meta to combat impersonation. 🔥

@MattNavarra Wonder if it's worth the extra $ to compromise the integrity of your platform

Whenever I think that no platform could have worse moderation than Twitter, I just go to Facebook and report obvious scam ads and scam accounts. When I receive the inevitable “we didn't remove this post/account” message, I am reminded that, somehow, it actually can get worse

A handful of verified Facebook pages were hacked recently and spotted slinging likely malware through ads approved by and purchased through the platform. https://techcrunch.com/...

Facebook phishing scams are getting worse - as per @TechCrunch. Hacked pages are now buying ads from Meta too. https://techcrunch.com/...
