Maybe it's time to shut down the $16 billion Facebook cesspool...

Editor's note: ...or the very minimum a boycott. Facebook and Meta's platforms have become well-documented environments where children are targeted by predators through direct messaging, recommendations, and weak age-verification systems. Multiple lawsuits, regulatory probes, and Meta's own disclosures show that grooming, sexual harassment, sextortion, and the circulation of child sexual abuse material occur at scale across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. While Meta is not accused of orchestrating this exploitation, critics argue the company has repeatedly failed to prioritize child safety over growth and engagement, allowing predators to exploit platform features faster than safeguards can stop them. While this intelligence cutout shyster Zuckerberg (the ultimate fake person award) enjoys his $300 million (and a $300 million yacht) buying more than 2,000 acres on Hawaii's island of Kauai (confirmed by Forbes) to build a vast private estate. The disturbing reality that Facebook and other social media platforms have been used by violent online predator networks like "764" to groom, coerce, and exploit children, underscoring how poorly these companies have protected minors from being manipulated into sexual abuse, self-harm, and other horrific acts online. Facebook is like walking into a drug-infested, gang-controlled ghetto, where predators, scams, and abuse operate openly while authorities react only after the damage is done.

Why Facebook is a cesspool of scam ads — and it's making billions off its phony 'tax' on fraudsters

By Thomas Barrabi | December 15, 2025

Facebook now accounts for the vast majority of scams on social media, according to an explosive new study — and critics claim it's because Mark Zuckerberg's tech giant is more focused on making money than protecting customers, The Post has learned.

Last year, Meta forecast it would earn $16 billion — or 10% of its revenue — by running scam ads, according to bombshell documents obtained last month by Reuters. Critics say the eye-popping number confirms that fraud has effectively become a core part of the company's business — especially at Facebook, which boasts more than 3 billon monthly active users.

The documents revealed Meta bans accounts only if its systems flag an at least 95% chance that they are committing fraud — an absurdly high bar that invites fraudsters with minimal policing, critics say. What's more, the more suspicious the ad buyer, the higher the fees for posting ads — a supposed deterrent to bad behavior which instead amounts to "pay to play," experts say.

Erin West, a former California prosecutor who has founded a nonprofit to combat online scams, said the documents prove Meta is turning a blind eye to the fraud because it is a "major moneymaker" for the company.

"To know that Facebook is aware of this and they tolerate it — and in fact, they even command additional fees from the worst offenders — is egregious," West said. "The practice itself is outrageous, jaw-dropping, unacceptable, but when you think about it story by story, it really becomes horrific."

SafelyHQ, a fraud-reporting platform, has collected more than 50,000 verified complaints from online scam victims. When the reports mention where the victims got scammed, Facebook is cited a whopping 85% of the time, according to data exclusively obtained by The Post.

Other platforms, including Meta-owned Instagram, Google, TikTok, and X, account for the remaining 15%.

The reports are only a tiny fraction of the big picture, according to Patrick Quade, CEO and founder of SafelyHQ. The Federal Trade Commission says most fraud goes unreported, and Quade says just 12% of scam victims who submit reports identify a host site.
