Ich kann mich noch gut an den Aufschrei erinnern, als mit der News um die Ecke kam, dass nun auch ans andockt.

Frage in die Runde: Folgt ihr Accounts von dort?

Ich bin ehrlich gesagt verdammt happy, dass ich grossen Threads Konten via meiner App folgen kann und so nicht auf dieser Zuckerberg-Schleuder aktiv sein muss

      Everyone, meet the "partner" working with SWICG and Social Web Foundation on the next generation of ActivityPub:

      > Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.

      > …Meta’s own research suggests its products have become a pillar of the global fraud economy. A May 2025 presentation by its safety staff estimated that the company’s platforms were involved in a third of all successful scams in the U.S.

      > According to a December 2024 presentation, Meta’s user base is exposed to 22 billion organic scam attempts every day. That’s on top of the 15 billion scam ads presented to users daily.

      > Every six months, Meta earns $3.5 billion from just the portion of scam ads that “present higher legal risk” […] That figure almost certainly exceeds “the cost of any regulatory settlement involving scam ads.” Rather than voluntarily agreeing to do more to vet advertisers, the same document states, the company’s leadership decided to act only in response to impending regulatory action.

        Thanks for sharing this (truly, thank you).

        Folks..... THIS. Right here.

        This is why I know so much about scams — from my time working at Meta.

        Interestingly enough, when I first told people I worked for Meta and exposed all the horrible things we were doing, that fact was celebrated on the Fediverse. It was often even trending there.

        But when I started talking about the scams I knew about — including the ones coming onto the Fediverse to warn people — suddenly, working for Meta was seen as a character flaw.

          Meta, Meta, Meta. So Meta. This Reuters report is 🔥

          "Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show"

          "Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day. Among its responses to suspected rogue marketers: charging them a premium for ads – and issuing reports on ’Scammiest Scammers.’
