German court holds Meta liable for scam ads

Original: German court rules Meta liable for scam ads on Facebook and Instagram

A German court has ruled that Meta is liable for scam advertisements that ran on Facebook and Instagram. The decision means the company can be held responsible for fraudulent ads shown to users on its platforms in Germany, even though the ads were placed by third parties. The ruling is being closely watched as it could set a precedent for platform liability across Europe and push Meta to tighten its ad vetting.

Why now: A court ruling against Meta over scam ads raises fresh questions about platform responsibility for third-party content in Europe.
