Meta Finally Stops Counting Ad Revenue Long Enough to Sue the Scamming Bastards

Oh look, the fucking Zuckbots have actually grown a spine. Apparently, Meta—which has spent the last decade hoovering up every penny from any advertiser with a pulse and a stolen credit card—has suddenly decided to file lawsuits against a bunch of shady operations from Brazil, China, and Vietnam. Why? Because these absolute fucking geniuses have been running “celebrity-bait” scams, plastering deepfaked faces of famous people all over Facebook and Instagram to trick morons into clicking on crypto scams and fake product bullshit.

Let me get this straight: For years, Meta’s “security” has been about as effective as a chocolate teapot, letting every two-bit scammer with a VPN run rampant across the platform. While grandma is over here wiring her life savings to “Brad Pitt” who supposedly needs Bitcoin to fix his spaceship in Vietnam, Meta’s been raking in the ad revenue and pretending everything is fine. Now, after approximately ten million users have already had their bank accounts drained by these parasitic fuckwits, someone in Legal finally woke up and thought, “Hey, maybe we should pretend to give a shit?”

The lawsuits target advertisers who used unauthorized images of public figures to push investment scams and malware. You know, the usual shit where some AI-generated Elon Musk tells your idiot cousin that he can double his money if he just clicks this definitely-not-a-virus link. And let’s be honest, if you’re dumb enough to think the real Elon Musk is sliding into your DMs to personally offer you financial advice, maybe—just maybe—you deserve to lose your paycheck. Natural selection, digital edition.

But here we are. Meta is seeking “permanent injunctions” which is lawyer-speak for “fuck off and don’t come back,” plus damages. Not that they’ll see a penny from these operations, which are probably run out of a basement with fourteen burner phones and a laptop held together with duct tape. Still, it’s nice to see them doing something other than renaming the company and building a VR hellscape no one asked for.

Anecdote: This reminds me of the time a user called me because he’d sent his password to “Tech Support” who emailed him from @gmail.com. I told him the only way to fix it was to sacrifice his keyboard to the IT gods. He actually put it in the microwave. HR was pissed, but honestly, he was too stupid to have a computer anyway. Natural selection, I tell you.
