Meta sued by U.S. Virgin Islands over profiting from scam ads
The lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands on St. Croix, cites a recent Reuters investigation and alleges Meta projected that about 10% of its 2024 revenue—roughly $16 billion—would come from ads linked to scams, illegal gambling, and banned products, while misleading the public about its safety efforts.
