Australian billionaire Andrew Forrest has accused the social media platform of failing to root out criminals
Iron ore magnate Andrew Forrest said on Thursday he is launching criminal proceedings against Meta Platform’s Facebook in an Australian court, alleging that it breached anti-money laundering laws and its platform is used to scam Australians.
It also alleges Facebook was criminally reckless by not taking sufficient steps to stop criminals from using its social media platform to send scam advertisements to defraud Australian users. “This action is being taken on behalf of those everyday Australians — mums and dads, grans and grandads — who work all their lives to gather their savings and to ensure those savings aren’t swindled away by scammers,” Forrest said in a statement.
