Thailand’s consumer protection agency has sued Meta and Facebook over alleged failure to stop scams and fraudulent ads on the platform. The complaint says scammers used fake profiles, ads, and impersonation tactics to target Thai users and sell counterfeit or dangerous products.

The case adds to growing pressure on major platforms to improve fraud prevention and consumer safety controls.
