Social media giant Meta continues to face scrutiny over its enforcement gaps. The UK's Gambling Commission has flagged that illegal gambling operations are running ads freely across Facebook and Instagram without adequate intervention. It raises questions about Meta's content moderation protocols—are they genuinely committed to blocking unlicensed betting sites, or is enforcement simply falling short? Either way, users scrolling through these platforms are being exposed to unregulated gambling promotions, which undermines user safety and regulatory compliance efforts across the industry.

Meta has been exposed again for insider leaks, and this time it's still gambling... It's really completely rotten.

Meta's review system is really incredible; can't even block gambling ads?

Meta is once again playing the "I didn't see it" game. With gambling ads everywhere, can they still claim they didn't see?

Meta has screwed up again, this time with gambling ads... I really can't hold it together anymore.
---
Basically, Meta never really planned to regulate properly; as long as the money comes in, everything's fine.
---
?? Even the UK Gambling Commission has come out, but they're still pretending. Laughable.
---
Being forced to see gambling ads when scrolling through Insta... who can handle that... Users are the real victims.
---
Enforcement gap? It should be called enforcement doesn't give a fuck.
---
Illegal betting is aggressively advertising, is Meta's content review system just for show?
---
Really, the crypto community is heavily regulated here while gambling ads run freely; rules seem to be different for everyone.
---
User safety? Ha... Meta only cares about DAU and ad revenue.

Meta is doing the same thing again; content moderation becomes a mere formality when it comes to利益面前

meta really out here playing the "we didn't see it" card while illegal betting ops print money on their ads. technically speaking, the moderation stack is supposed to catch this stuff—either it's broken or they're just not prioritizing enforcement. classic move when the ad revenue flows regardless.
