Way to go Meta

The top three platforms used by scammers all belong to Meta: Facebook at 57%, Instagram at 22%, and WhatsApp at 8%

Meta makes billions with it, so why would they block them?

Even worse, if a block request comes they go the scammer and ask for more money to leave it up.

And MAGA for neutering the FTC which was fighting against crypto scams.

The current administration has pretty much normalized that one.

Yep, crypto scams are legal. The president is on it too.

I'm a bit surprised YouTube isn't higher. I guess meta products are just spectacularly scummy.
