This follows a recent BBC investigation and Indian government demands for cleanup, with activists now petitioning India’s Supreme Court, arguing Meta’s inaction violates local laws. Shockingly, Meta’s Chinese ad partners were involved, and while Meta claims most ads were removed and ad spend was minimal, the report shows their reporting systems repeatedly failed to flag violations.
