Facebook Ads Phishing

2 pointsby dobrinovover 5 years ago
This (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;yourtopstories.com&#x2F;quantum&#x2F;) just appeared in my news feed. It was link to a page imitating The Guardian which leads to this website (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;quantum-ai-technology.com&#x2F;) where they even faked a presentation of Elan Musk. The domain is registered 3 days ago.<p>Am I new to the Internet or what? lol

You are just new to Facebook. They don&#x27;t actually mind being complicit to crimes such as phishing, scamming, fraud, etc because time and time has shown that laws don&#x27;t actually apply to these companies, so they adapted accordingly. Spoiler alert: flagging these will often not do anything either because according to my experience obviously illegal content doesn&#x27;t actually violate their community guidelines.<p>Install a good ad-blocker (uBlock Origin on Firefox, AdGuard on Safari, etc) and consider anything that has any kind of connection with Facebook to be malicious by default.
