Why only Germany? I feel that all countries should be doing something similar.

From the article: “ The Meta spokesperson also said the company has taken strong action against scam ads, including proactively identifying them and removing reported content.” This is complete crap, I’ve reported countless scam ads and marketplace offers and they haven’t removed a single one. It’s in their interest to continue selling ads (even scam ones), as long as they’re getting money into their pockets. Big companies have stopped caring for their users :-(
