Cuban: Facebook knowingly runs AI deepfake scam ads; docs say $16B fraud revenue
What happened
Mark Cuban says he repeatedly sees AI-generated deepfake ads on Facebook that use his likeness to promote a fake $294 diabetes cure, and he claims Meta knowingly runs these scam ads. Internal Meta documents show the company expects about $16 billion in revenue from ads linked to fraud and prohibited products, with billions of high‑risk ads shown daily.
Why it matters
If true, it suggests Meta is tolerating large‑scale fraud on its platforms, potentially harming vulnerable users and raising concerns about the company's responsibility for ad content.
