I am currently getting my Facebook feed flooded with "ads" that claim to be coming from OpenAI and/or Midjourney. These "ads" claim to be containing a "private release" of their new AI technology (Sora and others), and asks the user to follow a link. That link directly goes to a Google Drive, containing a single RAR file, containing an "Installer". Of course the installer really is a trojan infecting your PC. How on earth can Facebook be unable to filter this? How can it even be possible to post an ad with Facebook containing a Link to a Google Drive? Don't they do ANY validation of ownership of link targets? On Google Ads for example you can not link to any Domain you haven't proven ownership for. This is not rocket science. I am not even asking Facebook to run a virus scanner on link targets. But how about disallowing links to Google Drives, or direct links to downloads in general? Also, how is it possible that Facebook does not do ANY checks on registered trademarks when "advertisers" create accounts? How is it possible that scammers can create account names like "Amazon", "OpenAI" etc? How hard can it be to look up account names in a database of registered brand names? Just today I have reported five of those "ads" to Facebook, but they keep popping up. I am flabbergasted that it is SO easy to abuse Facebook to mass-infect users. Does anyone have any contact to alert anyone with competence at Facebook? Just reporting those ads one by one won't change anything. |
